Some eaten in traps. 5/10 traps near or within ditch in green vegetation & came nearly all spring - probably by rate which we said to be very common in the sugar cane. At present sugar will be being overhauled & no cane harvested; usually cut at all seasons. In afternoon Octavio - de Bonato arrived & permitted me with a horse to visit an old mine near valley. Mine tunnel (copper) had 3' entrance & only about 20'deep. A young young vulture there but no bats. Many nightjars over Chucarapi town at dusk (4/1463 shot). A small kingfisher seen.
