Five Km south of Juanchito we spotted Yleap flying over to a
marsh 100' from towisty road. ~100 G+L Yleap, 30+ Pectoral
Spiper, + 1 W phalange. Collected Pectoral. The area is
Very attractive. A passerby from the estancia (who gave me
permission to hunt here) said the place was called Charly(sp)
then past the puddle in which I shot the birds (sp)
is similar to that at the intersection of Rte 11 + Canal 2.
visited Sept 16 1973. Emergent vegetation throughout the water,
mostly a grass with two patches of tile. Water up to 1.5' deep,
with a (wood) area around the periphery shallow. The trench
is 50 yds north of a RR crossing. 300 yds S of RR 30-40
Yleap + 3 pectorals, the marsh continues for some distance.
19.8 km S of Juanchito - no buffies in a block of 25 (G.plover).
25 km S of Juanchito - 42 g.plover, no buffie (see sp. account).
28 km S of Juanchito 9 g.plover
At this point there is a beautiful ranch with much g.pard
buffy habitat and also tidal areas (the dunes are about 2km
To the east of the road.)
35 Km S of Juanchito - 100+ [illegible] definite + a healthy
percentage mixed) Buffbarked Sand piper. Six species
account. Collected one. 20 G.plover and 2 ters.
The field here looks identical (or almost) to the other fields
where we saw buffies. Very short stubble w/sheep.
Spotted the buffies before spotting golden. This field is
owned by people who have a house @ 34 Km S of
Juanchito, 46 N of Man Chiquitina 5km N of "La Atlantida", 12km N of 5
