Aug. 23 (cont.) Mrs. Last night it rained, so many of my traps were sprung. In the mist net this morning was a Phyllostomid bat, about medium sized, having a reddish color to its fur. This morning it is overcast but clear and warm and humid. The mus I got + discarded was a 8" 12 g., tests 4 x 7 mm. We are camped about 50 yards above a fairly good-sized rushing river, near the bend in the road. The pygmy owl clocks. In the process of taking photographing it, the owl flew the coop, so to speak. It escaped.
10:00 am We are leaving this camping site + heading up the road towards Jalis. We want to get to the forested area around Hacienda Jalis that Maria Koepfle wrote about + studied birds then.
35 mi. WNW Cajamarca, 6000 ft., Depto. Cajamarca, Peru
We drove about 8 1/2 miles beyond the Hacienda Jalis, and came to a clearing where we made camp. The road up here is very rough. We averaged only about 5 mph on the bumpy, rocky, rutty road. It became progressively more humid and green + thickly vegetated as we came up. We are now at 5900 ft. I walked further up the road for about 3 miles, but didn't come to any different habitat. I got 2 lizards with a large rubber band. Birds could be heard, but were difficult to see. I saw some yellow ones with some black in the head,
