At their headquarters house, a man told us it was 3 hours to Morocorie, another 1/2 to Obaca. One anthropologist had told LC that this was late in a race at summit of Cruero to Moccusine road. / We drove via Santa Rosa and Orangero to Heda Obayani, where LC made further inquiries about hummingbirds above Cañero; many Ruya peruviana slope, but none in bloom. Heda also included a large lake w. coots & ducks (some coots on weed isletty appear north- we saw 2 young coots near Neñoa). Then on to cliffs near reef horcida, where LC searched in loft for Oreotrochilus and found one, which she kept (now her 2 in captivity). We drove on in dark to Calacalo and camp- ed nearby. 18 July 1970. Frosty night. Sunday. To Lucio where we ate, rested, cleaned up.
