El Jul, 230 m., 19.5 km. NNE Encarnacion by road
Dpto. Itapua, Paraguay.
While I was recording along the lower
road it started to mist, with the mist
getting quite heavy at times. I took
the same route back to the hotel,
returning at 13:45.
At 15:45 I left the hotel to record
on the airstrip. I spent some time
banding a Basileuterus culicivorus from
the net in the drainage ditch on the
way to the airstrip. At the airstrip
it was relatively quiet and in terms
of birds and quite windy. I returned
to the hotel at 18:00.
Today Red Johnson and Anne Jacobberger
collected a ♂ and ♀ Caprimulgus parvulus
at the spot where Red tried to collect
the bird that I recorded on 15 September.
21 September
I left the hotel at 07:35 and took the path
to the airstrip. It was foggy and misty at
that time, but by 08:00 it was clear with
a blue sky. The temperature was warm,
and there were no to medium winds.
At the airstrip I looked at the birds
visiting the fruit trees bordering the area
in which they were trucking out gravel.
I saw a Tigranites substriatus Muscicapa tyrannus,
