J.P. Myers 1943 Journal Golfo San Jose, ~16 Km W of intersection of Rical Rtes #2 & 3, Peninsula Valdes, Pcia de Chubut, Argentina 24 October contd a similar pattern was probable the last night that we camped here, with the birds leaving the roosting area near camp at dusk, and with only solitary ones flushed from the Salicornia Salicornia during the night. Whales were very active. 5 Guanaco on road in. 25 October Up at 0530 to move out to Salicornia-beach interface. 100 WR seen but they were more in Salicornia this morning. 0630 big flock, over 100, seen foraging in Seli; the birds became much more spooky as the morning progressed, and it seemed like there was a factor of time of day rather than my activities. 0815 nothing settled, most WR on Salicornia with some along track. 3 Golden Plovers. Many Chan. jalklandicus. (033) 21 km W of Malepina by road, Pcia de Chubut, Argentina There have been isolated ponds of water along the road during the last 20 Km. Vegetation very sparse: sage-juniper like (I don't know what the local equivalents are). On the plateau some 1500 ft. plateau 40 or so km inland. At this particular pond there were five Baird's Spiker foraging along the edge. I collected one (034) Puerto Descado to the Andes via San Julian via Rical Rt #1201, Pcia de Santa Cruz, Argentina 27 October Least seedeater around. Many rhea (some with chicks) and substantial numbers of Guanaco. A few tawny-throated dotterels, Ch. jalklandicus in most sandy places when I looked. The road traverses stipples cut by occasional river valleys (e.g. Rio Descado) and arroyos. When it is not descending into or ascending from one of these, then the road crosses a flat plateau, barren except for short non-grass vegetation. I don't know what the ground cover is. Most of the time there is only very short trunks of a needled plant, along with a few other equally short forms. This is broken by paths of a shrubby juniper-like bush, several feet high. Wind is strong, and continuously out of SW. Cold, a few sprinkles. We also are passing occasional ponds of varied size, some up to several hundred meters across. At the larger ones one to several flamingos are usually present, as well as pairs of upland geese.
