JP Myers 1943 Journal 49 Canal 5 South on Rte 12 to Mar Chiquita, then back North to Canal 7, Pcia de Buenos Aires, Argentina. 14 October cont'd The field in which the Buffaloes are again situated is that in which they have been appearing: grass ≤1" with a few tufts that are higher, although this field does not have the density of tufts as some of the others. Teru's, gulls, burrowing owls, + sheep. 3 Km west of the junction found 300-400 Golden Plover plus at least 10 buffaloes. This field has taller grass, with clumps of tuft grass and clumps of dirt covered with a pulpy weed. The plowings are well spaced, although it is improbable to tell for all because they are distributed from the road to a point 500 m or more away. We continued on to Nahuel Riva, then north to Cal-fucura, seeing only a few more golden (flying) and no buffaloes. Inland there is little more of the classic buffalo habitat, at least on this road. At Cal-fucura we turned around, returned to Rte 12 via Pu sena route, and found a camping site where Canal #7 (~10 km north of the point where we rejoined Rte 12) flows into Lagoona Mar Chiquita. On the road as the sun set hundreds of golden plovers could be seen flying from west of the road toward the marshes along the Laguna. I watched one group land on this side of the Laguna. Mouth of Canal #7 into Laguna Mar Chiquita, 22 km W of Mar Chiquita, Pcia de Buenos Aires, Argentina 15 October arose at 0545 and went to edge of mud flat at the mouth of Canal #7. A fantastic shorebird habitat - very wide, shallow mud flat, with water from the canal flowing over (less than 5" deep, for several hundred yards out), much of that less than 2". [illegible] Freshwater, Shit Spiders [illegible], 50-60 Wrump, several Peckonat flying inland
