Sanderling on beach. Also Larus modestus (many) and

C. microfusuns was courtiny out on the rocks right
where waves + spray come pouring in but we avoided
the water by flying up the rock further at just the right
moment. They were walking + picking among the
seaweed, mussels, + barnacles.
Also near the beach from the road we saw
1 condor, 3+ some Coragyps, 1 Geranoaetes.

at 15 places through Tillandsia + rocks of the
ruins.
