3 Km SE of Narroopa, Dept. Lambay 294c, Park Elev. 100'.
5pt 4 Aug. 1967. We anchored out 0600 to the sound of the
cocker crow, thirty minutes near due to people.
It has been windy throughout the night but the
morning now clear. During the last 24 hrs the
maximum temperature was 69° and the minimum was
62°F. After breakfast I went to check the traps. On a sea
line I caught two mice, both dead. On one caught
a sugar trap as on one caught in his trap I was not
thrown into can but water was caught by wind before
can was used... Both men mentioned as neither were put
up. I must send off the traps to location when they
were tracked from the spirits before, and start to
check my traps for coming or same with them.
Today and to pull the trap. There was no mice in my trap
so I took all the traps, I took in 11 live and clean
sugar trap off of my line and 11 live and 5 sugar trap
from other line. While doing this I saw an acorn
digging grizzly Gecotio. During this display it began
stationing over on a jet that 20' in air with rapid
wing beats, it threw right around with continuity.
At the far shot 40'th due to looks still going came
out, another Gecotio was shot 100' away but showed
no special behavior during its alone performance. White-mirred
Dove, Warbling Finch, (Clamorous Finches) coming from Dove
are visible until shadows are seen. I then returned to camp
when I reorganized all my gear and got ready to move.
About 1315 we left as headed S. Nothing around except a tree.
