10 mi. WNW Santiago de Chuco, 13000 ft., Dept. La Libertad, Peru
Orzonyms in this one of his traps set in a small cave this morning. Ray caught a Colomp
sorellus and a Phyllotis pictus in nearby rock piles.
Last night was cool and slightly windy,
but this morning was not frosty. Ray shot a
finch and a farnarid here. Further up the road
he got a Reed snipe. We broke camp at about
10:30 am and drove 4 miles up the road. The
habitat is much the same. There doesn't
seem to be a definite pass, but much of the
road extends at the highest point. We were
camped at Km. 250. We drove back to km 103
where it is a little brushier, and made camp.

3:30 p.m. I set 23 snap traps and 21 small
shermans up and over a steep hill 1/2 mi.
from the campsite. The habitat is mainly
trench grass and rocks + rock formation and a few
brushes. Alternating snaps and live, I set the traps
up the hill and down the other side, placing them
in crevices under rocks and holes in the ground.
At the bottom on the other side was a small,
scrimpy rock coral, where I set a few traps.
D. Koford set his traps in the brush. He found
a mossy understory with mouse droppings + tracks.
Ray set snaps + small shermans along the road
at a rock + mud wall. I saw some mouse
