field 4 alectes amoenus and 1 A. bolivianus (discarded). Took
up the 6 lines near camp. Partly overcast during day but
no rain. (Yesterday, about 5 miles upriver from Neda. P., noted a
ledge 15+ feet above river with much whitewash on it; 2 herons
(might ?-staged) perched on this ledge. Many trout visible in river
at every point inspected.)
April 14, 1951 Rain for a few hours in early morning; light snow
on hills 500' above camp. Nearly 16 traps held 1 Akodon bolivianus
and 1 Phyllotis pictus. The string of 30 traps held 1 A. bolivianus, 1 Oryzomys ?, 3 Phyllotis darwini ? Cut up mice, discarding 1 A. b. and 1 P. d.
2-1/2 miles (from entrance Hda. Puno)
We drew up road about twelve & I set 12 snap traps + 2 still traps on
ridge of a cliff near road. Then visited another cliff on opposite side
of river from ranch houses. There saw up to 5 flycatchers at once perch-
ed on the rock outcroppings. About 4 p.m. fished in river near
crossing. Caught 10 trout trout, 9 to 14" long, in 30 minutes. Returned
to trailer. Talked with Jorge for a while - he said that wee persons
in area where Pearson camped but we had to be there at 5 or 6 am.
Nemidae were among the rocks, he said. He mentioned a place where
he had seen the chocolate & white note (A. jelskii). I shot a brown mark-
hamer near crossing. Saw 3 luteo-like boubos there, white below
with black wingtips. A love for Franklin gull perched on a
bar in the river. Fairly clear & cool in evening. Smelled skunk at
place where set one still trap today. Saw 5 of the green paraguates
perched on a rock cliff near the road; voice screechy + pruss
parrot-like.
