El Jul, 230 m, 19.5 km. NNE Encarnacion by road,
Dpto. Itapua, Paraguay.
4 September
The weather today was like yesterday's.
I left the hotel at 07:35, taking the
path from the miniature golf course to
Middle Trail. I left Middle Trail at
the gravel pit, and walked from the
gravel pit to the airstrip. While
walking through the gravel pit and
airstrip, I listened for Basiliscus
culicivorus and Empidonax euleri.
The wind up to that point had been
relatively calm, but it started to
pick up once I reached the end of the
airstrip.
I then walked down the road to
Becker's forest. (Anne Jacobberger and
Neil Johnson were shooting in the turn
orchard and Becker's forest, and the
vocalizing of the birds would stop
whenever a shot went off.) I walked
through the castor tree area to pasture
#2, then over to the "cut over, grazed
forest." I took the same route back to
the hotel, and returned at 13:40.
It started to rain at 15:00 and
continued past dark, so I didn't record
this afternoon.
