Pearson-1989 25 November 20 - Bariloche. Measured bamboo leaves. Alberto returned to Santa Rosa. Letter from Gwenn Brewer indicates lack of rain at her coastal site in Buenos Aires Province (Bstancialos Yngleses) made her speckled teal give up nesting (in parrot nests). November 21 - Sunny, warm. Rosendo Fraga came by, then dinner with Javier and Ofelia Bellati. The census by him and Julietta at Campo Anexo (Pilcaniyeu) indicated very few mice. I think he said 80 traps for three nights made 5 captures. Anita and Alberto saw tracks in the snow above Castano Overo a mile or so short of the Refugio, that looked like mink or huron (Galictis). November 22 - Bariloche. Juliana and husband came by, then Adrian with manuscript for Mammal Society meetings. November 23 - To Puerto Blest on the launch. Some drizzle early, but then clear. The Scotch Broom on the way to Llao Llao is spectacular; Notro in Bariloche still blooming; Broom and Notro in full flower at Puerto Blest. Saw a Sephanoides hummingbird feeding on Notro at the Hotel at Llao Llao. A bumble bee was feeding on purple Columbine a few meters away. Marked new culms on our two marked plants (not many new ones), then censuses flowering bamboo along the road to Bl Abuelo. Twelve, which is about average. Dinner with Fraga in the hotel. He says he saw flies pollinating blooming bamboo at Iguazu, and that in the forest there is not enough wind to rely on wind for pollination. His Campsidium is in bloom. We saw many flowers; many of the ones lying on the ground have been pierced, but we saw only one that looked eaten like the ones last year. November 24 - Puerto Blest. Night clear, day clear. Visited with the new park guard, Javier, who used to be at Lago Espejo. He is alert to the bamboo cycle, told us where several blooming plants were, and said that at Lago Espejo one of the natives used to raise pigs and that when the bamboo set seed in about 1944, the pigs got fat on rats and mice. Then we hiked to Lago Cantaros and along its north shore towards Lago Ortiz Basualdo. Nice forest, a few large alerces and a few young ones, lots of Saxogothea, lots of bamboo. None blooming but numerous young clumps. Home on the 4:30 launch. November 25-26 - Bariloche. Worked on bamboo and on Monjeau manuscript. Weather sunny, warm. November 27- Partly overcast in morning, no rain. Drove to Villa Angostura then to Ruca Malen. The road to Angostura is about half paved, the other half worse than ever. There is huge project of new bridge and road improvements going on at Ruca Malen. The hotel there seems to be all set for guests, but we saw no signs of life. Camped at the Aconaemys site on the bluff overlooking Ruca Malen. I put out 30 Shermans and 30 Museum Specials in bamboo/coihue/chaura forest, not many good logs. A few nires also. Anita put out 40 in dense bamboo. We found no signs of Aconaemys. November 28 - Ruca Malen. Night clear, warm. Nothing in my traps; 4 Ako. longipilis in Anita's, all in Shermans. This must be the worst trapping since the night with Felipe Valverde on ?Cerro Otto in lenga forest, when we caught nothing. Then we drove home down the Traful Valley to
