SP Myers 1973 Journal 67 Estancia los Flamencos, Km W/E from Rio Grande by road, Terr. [illegible] del Trina del Fuego, Argentina 1 November cont'd Estancia los Flamencos. My letter of introduction from Perez hijos may not have been necessary, but it did not hurt. The first meet was beneath a lake of fair size (>1 km long). Wind from W/SW and very strong. We were able to park 50' away + 30' above the meet on the edge of a cliff. (see spec accent) From the cliff I surveyed other birds visible (we were waiting for the flow, to return after having disturbed it with a blind): pair of crested duck, 60-80 cypriol gulls (particularly away from shore and on steep grassy slopes visible across the lake to the SW), Magellanic oystercatchers, Kelp gulls, 25-30 peeps on far shore (exposed shore as wind from SW- i.e. they are feeding where the wind has blown the water away) The second [illegible] meet visited was on a lake approx 5 km further along the road. This lake is much larger and more exposed (i.e. not sur- rounded by a encircling set of cliffs as the last), and the wind has moved the water back an aerial tile distance - several hundred yards of exposed mud are visible. We successfully watched the flow for an hour (see spec accent). At the edge of the exposed mud- in a thin band going as far as I can resolve (given heat overwate) which is at least a [illegible], there are peeps, Minimum estimate of 1000 [illegible] probably more, the band goes from the edge of the H2O (saline) back ~50' into mud (see spec accent). Just before we left the wind dropped noticeably. Soon flights of W/E were leaving the side edge, as if the lessening of the wind had allowed the water to re-advance cover the area where they had been foraging. This may not have been true, as there were still plunk of birds out on the edge foraging. Among those going past us there were no Avirius Bairds,
