2.1 km. E, 7 km. N Olmos, 2300 ft., Depto Lumbayague, Peru
Phylletis. I noticed it had a reddish rump
part, like magister tends to have. Unfortunately,
I couldn't get it. Ray caught a large Phyllostomid
bat in his net, like the ones I got at the
ridge.
Aug. 20
Nothing in mine or Dr. Koford's mist nets. Ray
had 6 more of the Phyllostomid bats. This net
was in a little construction in the stream.
Neither Ray nor I caught any mice along the
fence barrier. I 2 honeycreepers I put up that
I got yesterday in my net were a male & a female.
The female had a little caterpillar or worm or
larvae in her mouth, about 3/4 in. long + black &
yellow striped. Dr. Koford caught 2 Phylletis audium
at the box of a rock outcrop on a dry hillside with
cactus and open trees 100 ft. from the canyon bottom.
All 7 of Ray's bats were ??, perhaps they go around in
segregated bands. One had an almost full-term embryo.
I put up another that had a younger embryo (43 mm
MAL 310). I checked on the ? Parulup. She had
eaten her 3 babies, leaving only the heads.
12:30pm. We drove back out towards Motupe. At
about 3:00pm. we found a place to camp near
Motupe at the base of Cerro de la Viaja. There
is quite a lot of exploiting granite here,
and we are looking for geckos. I set 23
swamp traps at various holes around rocks
