March 19 Huayllarco, 5.2 mi. ENE Arequipa, 15,000'
at 137 there were 20+ ?? across stream.
at 138 there were 4, probably th or
with 3 yearlings near top of ridge. At
138.9 there were 9 adults with 2 juveniles
across stream and half way up slope.
March 20 Drove up the road in the morning. A group
at 135.6 down in stream bed so I could
not see them. Low one at 137.2 between
road and stream. Large group of ??
running up E 137.5 draw. 7, still
with no young, 100 yd. above road at
137.9. 14+ adults with 3 juveniles at
138.6 near top of ridge above (w) road.
Turned around at 139 seeing none of
usual groups. Saw the 14 A, 3 J again
at 138.7 now below road & across
stream. On of the adults is a very
young-looking & fuzzy yearling. At
138.6 about where 14A, 3J were just a
group of 9 A, 4 J was coming down the
hill. A nearly white ?? followed
100 yd. behind them. When they got to
road, ? of group chased white one. It
ran around him and across road.
Then ? of 14A, 3J chased it. It ran
down stream 100 yd. and started
grazing. Moved gradually about
