Pearson - 1988 42 28 the road, all in bamboo/cipres/coihue with a little chaura, Ribes, and rosa mosqueta. I set along the left fork, all in bamboo etc. At dusk saw 1 Tadarida? and one or more Myotis. Heard barking owl (=Strix?). Night calm, not cold. November 15- Llao Llao Farm. Morning calm, mostly clear. nita's traps had 2 death Oryzomys, 3live and 3 dead Ako longipilis. My traps had 3 Oryzomys alive (released), 5 Ako longi in Shermans and 4 in snap traps. Back to Bariloche for processing. November 16- Started off to set traps along the back road to Catedral, from Lago Gutierrez, but got sidetracked to a nice bit of forest at the end of the roadalong the west shore of Lake Gutierrez. The road ends at a Park Campground which is remarkably open coihue and sparse bamboo forest, medium-sized trees. Locked the keys in the van, so never did get around to setting traps (removed window to get in, then had to get a pro to re- install the window). November 17- Drove to La Veranada to measure light intensity around bamboo, but the nire leaves still are only partly out. The Berberis darwini along Mascardi is finished, the Scotch broom full out. November 18- Talked with Juan Chihuay, Elordi 659, born 1918. His nephew runs a Hosteria at Pampa Linda. Juan remembers a flowering of the bamboo on the Llao Llao peninsula in 1939, followed the next year by an outbreak of rodents smaller than rats, with medium-long tails. See bamboo species account. The park banished cattle from the Peninsula in 1936. He didn't seem to think that the Hotel had a dairy farm there. He says there was a rosa mosqueta bush at the Jones place at Nahuel Huapi in 1908. Drove to Lago Escondido in the afternoon and set out traps along the trails through the bamboo/coihue/cipres forest. This time we started from the west end of the lake near a giant dead cipres. Anita put 32 Shermans and 32 Museum specials, and I put 27 Shermans and 30 Museum Specials. Took photos of bamboo. Started to Scotch mist at dusk. November 19- Lago Escondido. Misty drizzle much of night but not cold. My traps had 4 live Ako longi, 1 dead Oryzomys, and 1 live Oryzomys (released). Anita's had 3 dead Ako longi, 6 live Ako longi, 1 dead Oryzomys, and 1 dead Ako olivaceus, which was caught at the edge of a grassy clearing. Dinner with Gallopins. November 20- Bariloche. Cool windy. Tea with Dick and Clara Klugh. He has many kinds of trees planted around his place at the beginning of the Faldeo. He says the Coihues and lenguas grow very slowly, and he pushes for pines and firs (he has a Master's from Forestry at Berkeley in 1936 approx). November 21- Left 10:30 for Puerto Blest. Lunches along the trail near the bottom of the steps at Los Cantaros; lovely piece of forest with giant coihues and podocarps. Found numerous new clumps of bamboo there, frequently close to an old dead clump. See bamboo species account.
