AK Pearson 1952 Nuthuprocta Tincupalca, 13800ft. Dept y Peru, Peru April 2 - Sat - watched nest #7 from the bus. D.P had seen the bird on at 8:48, & again at 9:40 AM. Since the nest wasn't visible I had to go over & be sure the bird was on or off, which I did. At 10:40 bird was on the nest, also at 11:15 and at 11:50. At 12:50 bird was off. Nine eggs, covered with feathers, under a sage bush. Removed and opened one egg which was about a week from hatching. The bird returned at 3:15, seemed somewhat worried about my grass & sage - trimming job, but I thought it climbed on. Still couldn't see it very red. Next checked nest at 4:45, & bird was not there. Also, the eggs were uncovered. Paige looked at 7:30 P.M., however & the bird was on the nest again. OP Collected the bird at midnight.
