JP Myers 1943 Journal 51 Mouth of Canal #4 into Laguna Mar Chiquita 22 Km W of Mar Chiquita, Provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina 15 October cont'd Then 8 [illegible]-like birds appeared. Light not good enough to see [illegible] anything much more than silhouette: larger than WR, good eye-strip (light), bill long + curved at end (or dropping), chest is greyish with some whiter areas forward the center, i.e. moderately clean. Back is dull grey. Unfortunately I can't see their tail pattern. No white down back. They are Stilt-Spotters 16 October Down at [illegible] mudflat by 0530. A lot was at the mouth when dawn both Yeggs, a screamer, ciconia's phalange, ten tin, Hudsonian godwits, golden plovers, [illegible] flew left.

I keep heat track during the morning of #s of WR's visible at 10 minute intervals, 20 sp. accent. Left to return to camp at 0715. Down again at mouth of canal by 48 tern, 10 L Yeggs, 20 golden plover, 34 H godwit, 11 WRump, 21 gulls of Kelp + (Mournehead), 6 b-necked swan, 10 ducks (most pintails) and a few terns.

Not typical sheld goose foraging habitat. 0735 saw 2 peeps flying moth. Long-winged much harner foraging over the sedge to the west. Many Zonotrichia in the vegetation and spectacled tyrants, Pampas finches. I walked to a point where I could see all of the beach (between me and a fishing club (the 1st one south of the canal). There are no sandyjacks, nor does it look as if the channel of the edge is changing from that of the mixture of mud and sand which it had been up to then. From this point I can
