On way that looked like we caught Pinta Aguja and lost calla Phyllotis darwini. To me it looks much darker than with different density in the Phyllotis darwini that we had caught earlier. The Southern Martins Progne modesta, near still present as were Turkey Vultures Cathartes aura and a small sick hummingbird On the way back we stopped at a sandy beach area near camp when Carl lost his traps. We had stopped there earlier as Carl had caught a small jay which Bird photographed. Thinking Carl caught an owl near as near one found such while Ray collected albatross. Bird photographs Ray and the owl made one the place where it was caught. I thought that this was a good looking spot and decided to put my traps later. We put up a net this morning hoping to get something different than what we had seen in the morning but they did not take anything. Gray-tailed Mockingbirds Mimus longicaudatus as grackle were seen. After lunch Bird as I hike out to set our traps in some mature beeper. We first checked out and saw 4 adult grackles as one corvid, Corvus cinereus.
We then set at traps. I set at 50 traps north of where it smells like a cold fried in the sun. While sitting at traps I saw a very pale long-tailed Mockingbird Mimus longicaudatus grayish as a adult or Vermilion Flycatcher Pyrocephalus rubinus. Bird shot a Mimus longicaudatus, about 1630 we looked back for camp with Bird in hot pursuit of Pyrocephalus rubinus. On the way we saw Carl driving out to use as I met to join him. During the afternoon it had cleared up greatly and then storm as it wasn't very windy). I set at 7 more traps as Carl filled his truck.
