driveway. Photographed Rattlesnake, home midnight.
May 10 Bariloche. Windy, partly cloudy. Weighed Rattlesnake
folder of droppings. Back to same place at El Cordero
at 5 p.m. Watched and photographed Rattlesnake with NVGA
and spotlight. Saw big lot and big shrike, both in
the middle of my Rattlesnake area.
Our former campsite (22 km ESE Bariloche) is 1.7 km
beyond El Cordero driveway. Lots of Rattlesnake droppings
on the road down than N. Pico road. The Rattlesnake photo
strip is 1.1 km E of there. Saw 7 hare in the
headlights at 11:30 on the 2.8 km from the photo place
to El Cordero drive. Several horse seen near the
photoplace.
May 11 Conference with Valverde, then back to El Cordero at
6 p.m. Cold, calm, clear. Hunted & photographed Rattlesnake.
Back 11 p.m. 5 hare in the same 2.8 km of road,
May 12 Clear. To Siao Floo bamboo with Isabel
Gallepin. A Chacar came right up to us many
times while we were working at climb #1.
May 13 Tarah came by. He says "Prado" is the best
word to describe the Rattlesnake "turf".
To describe the droppings of Eunice, Argentine
markets sell a "cereal listo para comer" called
"RICE KRISPIES!"
Patria thinks "Prado" is too formal-garden a
word, agrees that "Pradera" means prairie, not necessarily
short grass, and that the best Spanish word for turf
is a horse-racing word "turf".
