Catch: Peromyscus truei - 1 (tree trunk, oats)
Peromyscus difficilis - 4 (2 from wood shrub & large + 2
from Szigethian sets in bunch grass)
Peromyscus sp (unus-local) - 2 (from field open ground
with few tree shrubs - same as adjacent traps).
Notting = 2 carnivore sets. While picking up 4 out
traps in bunch grass saw a large alligator lizard. I
packed off + shot it with .38 but this didn't seem
to bother it & it ran under the bunch grass. I
searched through the grass & finally spotted it + grabbed
it. While checking carnivore sets, I saw an adult
red-tailed hawk. While showing a machete bright
me in 2 large Rara, + another fellow brought one.
Physicians while he said he caught crossing the rd.
I asked this fellow when Cavo del Jaging was
& he pointed due South & said it was 5 or 6 km.
distance. Later I asked another fellow who pointed in
the same direction, but didn't know the distance.
Another fellow had heard of Chichimico (+ the latter
did not react to a picture of a chipmunk). The 2nd
fellow said there were Gavolinos around & that
lobos regularly killed cattle. Started raining about
1600 & continued into the evening. I climbed up
the mountain to the ENE [unclear] + saw 46 traps
in the rim rock near the top v. There is also a send
