JPL Myers 1973 Journal Estancia Medaland, 35 km south of Tandil, Provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina 18 October and pectoral collected yesterday evening. Throughout the morning while doing the Grids I [illegible] saw goldens + bufffie flying in the wind + foraging in the grass near our camp. 15 km E of Miramar by road, Provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina From camp on a bluff above the ocean several hundred albatross + shearwater are visible. At least some of the albatross may be great hooks as if jaegers are present as well, but difficult to tell in the evening light at the distance at which they are flying. By dusk only a few birds were visible, including 2 Macarones in above shore 43 km E of intersection with Bahia Blanca by road, Provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina 19 October Flock of 80-100 Golden Plovers flying north across road at 1645. They are the first GP we've seen all day, since leaving last night's campsite near Miramar, despite the fact that we have passed a lot of fields which looked like appropriate golden habitat. Salital de la Vidriera, 31 km S of Bahia Blanca by road, Provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina At 1400. Just before dusk, as we crossed the Salital on Road #3 a flight of peeps flew past over the road. 20 October 0900 we came back to the Salital from camp in the car, and parked by the side of the road. The vegetation around the salital is low scrub-fount. On the edge, there is a broad expanse of firm mud. Water appears to be shallow some distance out. Close to the road are a number of Baird's Spikers feeding on the mud. Across the water are well over 100 peeps, but as I [illegible] also saw a flock of 13 Wrumps I'm not sure what the large flock was. From behind, and from the few birds that have left the group + flown (cyber, I would guess most of them to be Baird's. I collected one Baird's (032) from the group by the road. Weather cloudy, [illegible] wind, tempin 50's
