In the field

In these days I am going on secondary roads which are far from any main road or village. So, it is full of anilmals: the swamp deer is quite difficult to see, the alligator and the bird are everywhere. Anna and Bernhard are on a trip to Santa Ana, they will be back next week. I will keep working alone with the help of Don Jorge, the official chofer I had when I did the survey of Lomas in 2006-07. We spend all the time chatting about "ganaderos" gossip :-)

  8. Ti perseguito anche lì? se ti sono fischiate le orecchie guarda http://bressanini-lescienze.blogautore.espresso.repubblica.it/2010/08/27/sapori-dalpeggio-iii-mirtilli/comment-page-1/#comment-148765.

    In compenso, visto che qui nessuno parla italiano: mi è sempre piaciuta la storia dei laghi "tettonici" - se hai foto di fauna "tettonica" metti pure quella!

  9. Umba,
    cuidadito con las carreteras secundarias...
    Busca bien en las lagunas, quizas encuentres una base de naves extraterrestres dentro!!! No serías el primero en contarlo...
    Ah! Tómate un pacumuto a nuestra salud, bien regado de cerveza choleada helada.
    Suerte con el trabajo,
