Oct.29 Enidela Cenalvo, Baja Calif., Mexico - Went up
the main arroyo this morning, taking the right
branch near the top where Bob found water & a trail.
This part of the canyon is very steep and rocky. For
about 50 yds. there is a small running stream, with
several puddles of a couple square feet each, and
a couple inches deep. [See Gipper's notes also for
description]. There is algae in many of the puddles.
I saw several tadpoles and 1 newly metamorphosed
frog. In this area Ground Lizards were abundant,
and I & Tee took 2 hummingbirds & a Lincoln Sparrow.
Formica Ctenosaurus carrying a large, still living,
dragon-fly. In the evening set traps on the
hill immediately N of camp, that is, along the bluff
facing the gulf. At about 6:30 started trapping
in camp, at our food shelf, for Lomysens. Last night
we got ten here; so far tonight (9:30 now) we have
6 more. Today was very windy all day, rather
cloudy early. Tonight is clear as can be, as all
nights here have been.
Oct.30 Got up at 4:30, spent about 1 1/2 hr. before daylight looking
for owls, Vo luck. Shot a feral house cat. While
checking traps, saw a Great Blue Heron fly past the
mouth of the arroyo. Had 1 Peroognathus, 5 Lomysens.
Dick Adcock came forms at 7:30, earlier than me
had figured. We left the island about 9am; arrived
in La Paz well before 3pm. Spent the rest of the
day getting our gear squared away for the return.
