Myrna Leung 1969 Journal 108 15 mi. W Quirivilca, 11,000 ft., Depto. La Libertad, Peru Sept. 1 (cont.) droppings and some viscacha-like droppings along my line. Higher up today I caught 2 frogs in the creek. They are a very dark brown and swam under mud & rocks in the water. Here I saw 2 lizards in the iclm and heard the clacking frog. The temperature is comfortably cool with a slight breeze. Our tire went flat twice today. We had 2 flats yesterday, too, although the road isn't very bad. 9:00 pm. Dr. Koford and I went to check his traps. Nothing in them yet. Walking back on the road, Dr. Koford saw what appeared to be a dark bird up on the bark of a eucalyptus tree, about 8 feet up. I climbed up on adjacent wall and grabbed it. It is a blackie hummingbird. It was very cold and didn't appear to be able to move, except for grabbing with its feet. Its eyes were closed, and it uttered a high "scree" sound over and over. After it was in my hand several minutes it warmed up and began beating faster and vibrating with life. It opened its eyes, and tried to flap its wings. Apparently these hummers go torpid at night. The night isn't very cold here - 45 or 50 F. There is no wind tonight. I just heard what I think is a bat flying above, the first I've heard in this area. No other night sounds are prevalent. I saw the droppings under the mesquite. They are long and viscacha or gopher droppings
