Los Esesmiles, Dept., Chalatenango, Salvador
attract small birds yesterday,
while at the edge of the rain
forest, he heard a rustle
among the leaves and turned
to see two weasles pop into
an opening. Before he could
cover them they were gone like
a flash. Today I made a
bait set under a log near
where he saw them. I also
made several other bait sets.
The large snap traps which
I placed in the small
spring streams at an altitude
of 7500 feet showed no signs
of semiaquatic Oryzomys or
dheomys. Also the small snap
traps set for shrews were not
molested. There were many
raccoon tracks in the mud about
the springs. A No.1 steel jump
trap which had be set there
evidently had grabbed a
raccoon but the wiry rascal!
twisted out. Another larger
trap was set with the No.1
for a second attempt to get
"Mr. Coon!"
