Mymal Long 1969 journal 69 Aug. 11 (cont.) 1 km. N, 12 km. E Paracota, 8500 ft., Dept. Arech, Ben Angles. I saw a flock of 4 smallish noisy parrots. Dr. Koford set about 30 small shermans near the same places as he had the large shermans last night, and he left his large shermans out. Aug. 12 6:45 a.m. Dr. Koford and I went up to check our traps. I checked my line, not picking any traps up, and didn't find any mice. Dr. Koford checked his snap traps (38 of them) and caught 7 andium in them. He checked his live traps and had 1 andium is out of 24 large shermans and 1 andium out of 32 small shermans. We decided to pick up our traps and move to a little lower altitude. I picked mine up, and much to my surprise there was a magister in one set by rock wall surrounded by bushes. I'm pretty sure I checked that trap before, so the mouse probably entered the trap sometime in the 1 1/2 hours that elapsed between my checking it & collecting it. In the meat net this morning flew a green hummingbird, a yellow finch, & a white-throated sparrow. I injected my magister, Dr. Koford's 2 andiums and the live andium that Ray caught. (MAL 279-282). 3:00 p.m. We left our campsite and drove down the road a few kilometers to a point (probably ~ 7000 ft.) where the old road had once crossed the river. We set up camp across the stream.
