B. Hamilton 1967 Journal 10 Km. E. of Piurza, Dept. Piurza, Peru, Elev. 300' July 16 Ray collect a bird that is probably the Coastal Miner, Geositta peruviana. Carl manage to collect a spinetail, Spelaeis s.p. from a mosquito tree, after this we looked for a place to camp away from the Pan American Highway. We finally found a good spot N of our truck. This wood looks mostly like evergreen type, dense but still an open in area of trees and with similar vegetation. We hung at edge of dump area, and set out traps. I number box set my traps out in a straight line but widely scattered and had some on flat area as some on hum mossy like hill. Most was place near vegetation but some were placed on open sand. Carl set some still trees on flat area near camp. We had seen many fox trap tracks as we were putting out mouse traps. Then we saw some small holes at base of bush. Black Vultures, Coragyps atratus and Turkey Vultures, Cathartes aura and Red-shouldered Hawk Buteo polyosoma were here as well as Long-tailed Mockingbird Mimus longicaudatus and Coastal Miner, Geositta peruviana. After supper we went to check traps. I was unable to find all of mine as should only after about half of mines. Ray looked for Lizards but could not find any. The night to end at about 2200 July 17 We awakened at about 0600 to cooler morning and temperature about 50°F. After breakfast I went to check traps as did the other. I caught one of the pale mice that we caught near Mötropo in middle of flat area near Acacia tree. Carl also caught one of them pale mice. I picked up my traps but Carl left his out. Or I was putting away my traps I noticed more fox traps.
