Aug. 17 (cont.) snap traps placed along the rocky slopes. No more bats
were caught last night. I caught a small lizard
by hand (OLAC 295). It had an orange head
and yellow elin' was running through the brush.
10:00 a.m. Caught a Furnarius in the mist net.
It is a golden tan bird about the size of a robin and
has a light yellow eye with black pupil. The
beak is long and somewhat curved. I walked
down the stream a ways and saw lots of lizards
& doves. There are woodpeckers here. I saw 3 on
a tree trunk. Each had a bright red crest,
black eye stripe, + white cheeks + ventral.
Under a rock I found a large toad + a small
lizard together.
12:00 noon. Left our campsite and drove up the road to
Porculla Pass. It is steep and brushy and overgrazed.
Bromeliads are growing on the trees. We drove back
2 km. from the pass and set some traps along a
fairly heavily vegetated slope with rocks. I set
a few snap traps along a dry creek bed. We
then drove up to the pass where we set up camp
right at the pass. Dr. Robert set snap trees
along a creek, Ray set along a brushy rocky
ridge, and I set my 3d small shermans
up the west-facing slope along brush and
a few scattered rocks. Our 2 trapping localities
are 2 km. W Porculla Pass, 6500 ft., Depto. Lambayeque,
