camp at 135+ km, they to follow tomorrow. Snowed most of the way, arrived just before dark, still snowing, about 3 inches on ground. Shot 2 'Medwin' turacos at 10km, 13,700ft, and saw for as we approached 135+ km. Also herd of 17 vicunas there. Still snowing at 8, about 4 inches on ground and slash on pendulas. My large chirping orcaan [illegible] Dec 24 Temp at sunrise 32°, about 4 to 5° below. Temp at noon, overcast, 52°. Went for long walk about 8 o'clock looking for tracks and trying to call for with game call. Saw no turacos or red rumped turacos, only 1 set of vicuna tracks. Occasional mouse tracks near rocky places. In fact, almost the only signs of life were near big rockpiles or cliffs where there was least snow. Most evidence was tracks (and sight) of dubby birds around the rocks. Saw 1 mococo, plain coota, gulls, and crabs on the big shallow pond south of camp. Coota followed by half-grown young. In afternoon went photographing vicunas with Carl. Weather mostly overcast all day but very bright. At 8 a.m. with snow on ground but overcast my exposure meter hit the top, 1600. But considerable sunburn on my 2-hour walk in the snow. Dec 25 Started snowing again in the evening last night. 2-3 inches this morning, overcast with some blue sky east & west. Temp at sunrise 29°; at noon 52°. About 7 a.m. heard turacos call, went hunting but didn't get any. Then vicuna hunting with Carl. Many photos, plus another turaco hunt. After On way back to camp saw 4? Condors feeding on a dead (shot?) vicuna. Went back to camp for the Horset and lunch. From all gone by 1 p.m. Then looks to hunt
