Peredo said many were in around garden now; Lynn had seen one carrying a flicher. Sra. P. also said many Curiá now where grass is thick. She said some were at ranch. Lynn had seen one near house. Sra. P. said Turanetis occurred in higher parts; about February, sometimes landed in groups, sometimes falling over as if drunk. Lynn thinks Sra. P. is good observer. Apparently the government will soon take nearly all of the ranch (for agrarian reform small farms) and the vecinas (about 1000). Threatened rain today. 22 June 1970. A pair of large Butos in eucalyptus near garden, perhaps nesting. White head, gray body, white tail, w. black band near tip and terminal narrow white band. One (♀?) with grayish breast.
