Patinas, 15 Km. E., 7 Km. N of Talarz, Dept. Piura, Peru.
July 31 This area is a Quichua like Fundo consisting mostly of a closed canopy cequepet tree 30-40' high. The area in one extension the bank and follow a river course but the river is dry this time of the year. Part of the area has been developed into a pasture area as this area seems to be more extensively used for livestock then Fundo. At first we drove around and scouted the whole area but finally came up a plan suggested by the Connolly's. We chose this plan because it was relatively secluded as opposed not to be too easily used by goats and pigs. It was located on a rather wide strip of trees between the dry river bottom and the road. When we got here we set up camp.
I put out a net at edge of clearing with Ray's help as I help Ray put up a net at the edge of some thick vegetation. I then put at some traps while Ray was hunting. I also set out on steel trap just before dark became then is fish sign here. Ray succeeds in shooting a rather large brown flycatcher for as a band perchlet probably in genus Fierpes. He also got a small flying owl.
Glacidium brasilianum at dusk cast slit second later are many fly around in the woods. Before dark & has caught a rove in my site.
After dark Ray searched for and just scored gecko, I check my traps with no luck but I do notice that there are a tremendous number of jokers present and they respond to "speaking". After checking my traps we not go to bed.
