U.M. Sglador 1978 El Juel, 230 m., 19.5 km. NNE Encarnacion by road, Dpto. ItapĂșa, Paraguay. 21 September Time I've seen that species away from manakin lek #IV. I stayed at the airstrip until 08:30. From the airstrip I walked down the road to pasture #1. I walked from the pasture to Becker's forest, criss-crossing the forest in search of Basilentemus culiciformis and Empidonax euleri. I then walked through the castor tree area and pasture #2 to the "cut over grazed forest" area., I looked for the two species here and also recorded other birds. I walked back through the pasture (#2) hoping to record a species of Zonotrichia capensis, but the wind was getting quite strong and was destroying most of the recordings. I then walked back via the castor tree area, road and airstrip returning at 13:15. At 15:30 I walked the drainage ditch to the reservoir. There was a small (approximately 10 x 5 ft.) puddle of water, though but none of the herons I had hoped for. I then walked the paths to the gravel pit, but the gravel pit was very quiet. Next I walked Middle and Loop Trails, and returned to the hotel via Middle Trail at 17:45.
