P. PEARSON 1950 27 July 17 Nothing in traps except 1 fox dog in culvert under RR behind camp. Went swallow hunting in AM down the quebrada by camps to the Rio Magdalena, then up the river to near Meira, then back along the RR. Saw 4 Stelgidopteryx and got one of them. Many swallows on telegraph wires near Villanueva at one spot. Shot 2 of them but both were [illegible]. When I returned to camp a little before lunchtime, Figaroa (the cook) and Pinetta (the chauffeur) had come, along with a special messenger from the Servicio in Bogota. His message was that all foreigners were to present themselves immediately in Bogota (presumably because of the Korean situation). I suspect that most of the furor is really because of Savage's commission in the Reserve Corp., but am planning to leave tonight in the truck for Meira (if gasoline for it arrives as expected on this evening's freight train). Morning mostly cloudy bright, afternoon scattered clouds. Humidity = 40, temp at noon 32°. July 18 The truck did not come. No traps were set last night; no jacklighting. Shot 4 castrate mares for Dugard out of a flock of about 7. The adults still in very ragged plumage. After lunch went to Villanueva along the road to see what cooks. The gasoline came and the truck went to Meira -- without picking me up. Came back along the railroad about 2:30 - 3:00. Downo- [illegible] cryfs. While I was gone 2 Policemen and some others came to camp (they had passed me along the road) and told Paulino that all the gringos were returning to the United States. Morning overcast, with enough drizzle to settle the dust
