290 km NW Villa Hayes by rd, Dept Pte Hayes, Paraguay
19 Aug interesting considering how/what these were
when we visited this area a month ago. At that
time it was warm but not hot (temp in 70's). This time the
temp had been very high (36 C) its preceding
day. Perhaps it gets too hot under the tin roof &
do birds breed (or the palm logs. At least
there were no squeaking under the roof this time,
& the centinel was last.
The M. nigricans - M. albeus separation
was unusual too. Before we've seen mixed
ups. & the M. albescens? We did hear squeak
in the cool house roof where we couldn't get at the
birds. Perhaps that's formed a new very colony
Looks like this might be a good nesting place
if it dies out a little more.
Bal w/ slight flat. Many lugs - especially
dolovromes. Few mosquitoes.
Temperature dropping, drizzle increasing.
Left about 9:30 AM. We started for Pto Verde to see
Wetzlo. Due to drizzle too much we returned to Chaguas.
