5PMyers 1993 Journal Grid 3 (500m Nef Farmhouse), Estancia Mieland, 35 Km S of Juancho by roads, Pcia de B.A., Argentina (individual Pectorale, noting feeding + social behaviour (see ap. accent). They were able to disappear completely in certain areas of the grid because of the high grass, and did so frequently enough to make me doubt the completeness of the census. They did not disappear, however. I was distracted at one point on 1836 by a group (1) of 3 Gallinago. These birds were feeding and preening within a radius of 3m of one another. They were in an area between the observation post and the grid, in higher (both in elevation + in actual vegetation height) and clearer than the grid. Last sample at 1415; weather condition almost identical to those at beginning (70°). Tower Area (Llauró and Arroyo), Estancia Mieland, Pcia de B.A., Argentina 1925, on tower - sky is 80-90% covered in 4th low clouds (but pioneer a following - they are not so heavy as earlier, and then have been extensive patches of blue). Lois brought me here left, ~30 min to age. Arroyo contains (fallow, toward S at curve to W, ~200m away) - 20 Godwit; closer in toward tower, ~100m away - 10 WR with 2 Ch. Falklandicus, 2 G. pluvia. The players continue down toward the grid - 4 on this side of the grid. 2WR on E side of Arroyo on grid. Grid 7 (SE of Tower) containing: 2 Ch. falklandicus, 1 buff-breasted spiper. In Grid 4 (50m NE of tower) - 3 golden plover, 3 buff-breasted sandpiper. At 1935, disturbance, and ~30 WR flew up Arroyo, taking with them those I had counted. All the godwits left. Birds circling overhead, and settling into field on opposite side of Arroyo. 0736 Incident Vertical Light = 260 ft-candles. 2000 - flock of 16 BN 5ft. Land just past the grid, just as a herd of 8-10 wild pig ran across the corrego + to the NE across Strellenos. Lapwing bounded them as they ran. 2005 IVL=32 fc; then when the sun is setting now, there are a few buffaloes in Grid 4. Sky has almost cleared. Wind moderately from NE. At 2000 began sampling - 1 each of Grids 5, 6, and 4. Totals: Grid 5: white rump 6; Golden plover, 2; Ch. falklandicus, 1. Grid 6: Golden plover, 1; Ch. falklandicus, 1; Grid 4: Golden Plover, 6. I began to run another cycle of sampling, but light levels fell too low to read numbers on stakes (IVL= 9f.c. at 2020) 2025 WR left, 1 flying up Arroyo. 2 Lapwing flew into Arroyo. 2026 1 G.plover downstream. 2027 1 G.plover landed on Grid 5, 4 flew by. 2028 golden flew; 2029 1 GP upstream, 8th Gull upstream; 2030- 3 GP flying down Arroyo. 2031 2 GP landed, took off. 2035. 2035 Agai Agai [illegible] left [illegible] downstream [illegible] 2042 - 8 BNs [illegible] at [illegible] [illegible]. Going up stream. These notes were taken
