In the afternoon we set 22 Tomahawns and 38
Shermans on Figueira Trail.
The 2 traps by the Carmo River were open, w/ food.
20 July (Mon)
Tomahawns by the river empty again. It's a bit
surprising since there's a lot of 'good habitat'. (=bambu
zal). Bait (banana smashed w/ oatmeal) hadn't been
replaced since 1st night. Today I removed both traps.
We caught an Akodon in the Sherman at home (baits
banana).
Carmo Acima traps :
① Delomys dorsalis (Tom 44) on the ground. Trap was,
dragged for ½ meter from place where it had been set.
Jair thinks a hawk tried to get to the mouse. It
was wounded on right shoulder. (this is the same
place where we caught the Proechimys dying
yesterday).
Bait on Carmo Acima trap was, already 2 days old.
We replaced it for every trap today, same bait a,
before (banana smashed w/ raisins, and peanuts
and oatmeal).
Last night and early this morning I managed to
revive some animals that were too cold. But some
died later. → by putting them close to wood stove
