Socrobolia lesslety along the paved road 10 km NNE
Nahuel Huapi. Ballard and aguilar set 24 steel
traps for Ctenomys and 1 set 13 cage traps across
the road for Rattithalon, baited with alfalfa pellets
and rolled oats. Lots of sign of Rattithalo. Two of
the two burrows were plugged up while me drove
to Rion Grande ad look.
May 5
Ran traps at 10 a.m., scattered clouds, light breeze.
My traps held 6 also longi and 1 Ctenomys and 1
trap rolled over empty. Lots of Rattithro droppings.
The two traps held 3 Ct. Socrobolia and 1 also longi.
We then drove to Cueva Trofial and back and
picked up the traps at 10 km NNE. Two Merigal burrows
but no new animals. There is a fair number of
diggings west of the pens in an island of almost
turf where the tamarisk has left only the Scarcia
and have eaten the bunches of Zylba speciosa.
On the way back from Confluencia, Goyzalo
noticed some two burrows on the west side of
the road 200 m north of Arroyo Carbon. This is
33½ km by road north of Nahuel Huapi (the outlet
of the lake). Looks good for Socrobolia, OK for
camping across the road. This is 24.4 km NNE of
Nahuel Huapi straight line.
At 5:30 went out to the meadow at Loma de Huenuleo and Maltan & Goyzalo set 13 traps.
Lots of sign.
