J.P. Myers 1943 Journal Puerto Deseado to San Julian via Pcial Rte 1201, Pcia de Santa Cruz, Argentina. 27 October cont'd On two of these I have seen flocks of parp. The first one were too far away to ID. The location was about 85 km S of P. Deseado. At the second were Baird's, 60km N of San Julian. I collected one (035) (1240 hrs). The pond was brine, containing brine shrimp. (Chamadoiu Falklandicum) was also present. San Julian to Rio Coyte via Rta. #3, Pcia de Santa Cruz, Argentina 28 October 112 km S of San Julian we stopped by a pond in the road. 2 Lance orbilatrixi, 2 (07+9) (plain) gare, 5 Baird's sandpipers.

The fields on the southern, upper edge of the valley of the Rio Coyte - it is sloping gently to the NW, covered very particularly by a juniper-like brush, the tallest being 3½-4' high. In before the brush is a grass, but mostly bauchet. Temperature during the evening got down to 2°C; now wind at second or during the night. Cloud cover cleared. The river itself, which we crossed about 20 min. before Bill Stiffler left Bill Gallagher camping, has created a very broad and wide valley with a considerable amount of expanse under most of it flowering. Along the river is much low green grass. There are David's sparrow there, as well as Mayaguez sylvestris, apart gare (by the hundred, both impaired, in flota) and several species of duck. Rio Coyte to Rio Gallegos via Rte #3, Pcia de Santa Cruz, Argentina 29 October cold, still and windless at dawn. Least seedeagle displaying all around camp. Zonotrichia singing.
