the Condors. Mixed with the Hornet and Carl with .12 ga
and no.4's condor + bring down any either although surely
but them. Photos of captive Chinchilla and Ph. boliviensis
in afternoon. Evening partly clear. No snow all day.
Dec 26 Temp 34° in a.m. Looked for tinamou but found none.
Then drove with Carl & Anita to the weird rocks on the
huerito rock. Several bird nests in arm-size holes.
The hummer nest Carl saw a building (and shot at)
front) was unmapped. It was 7 ft above ground,
stuck on rock under an overhang. Took photos
of young cormorant in nest and being fed. Hard + snow
in afternoon but not in evening.
Dec 27 Tinamou hunt after dawn, but no signs. Then
off to photo vicunas with Carl & Mary, but only a
few patches of sun and not much cooperation
from the vicuna. At 2 p.m. looked for lizards +
frogs under stones near camp; found several. A
cold wind from west came up about 2, followed
by heavy snow about 2:30 to 5, total about 2 1/2
inches. Sweet mild, no wind.
Dec 28 Morning sunny and nice for a few hours, then
scattered clouds. By lunch time mostly cloudy with
occasional thin patches. The clouds form overcloud and
chum around in such fashion that photography is
quite unpredictable 2 minutes ahead.
Long + profitable tinamou hunt before breakfast,
then photography with Carl up at the little lake north
of the woodland on the pampa west of camp. Some
