JPMyers 1974 Journal 15 January cont'd W 1 Km W of Farmhouse on Farmhouse Rd, Ptdo de Maduraga, Pcia de Buenos Aires, Argentina. Refilled with the periodic rains. Although I have not recorded it before in the journal, there is usually a GYligo (solitary) foraging on the puddle when we drive by, and occasionally I see a small flock of ORs as today. We stopped to observe them in order to collect known territorial birds (see pp. accept). Two collected, both fumibral, and both juveniles 87(070371). Also saw 2 semipalmated plover on the puddle. Weather very windy, temp in 40's, 0% cloud cover. Remained until 1815. Tower Llamos, Estancia Weddell, 35 km S. of Juancho by road, Ptdo de Maduraga, Pcia de Bs Aires, Argentina. After above set of observations continued on tower. Parked car ~200 in Wolfgate at entrance to Llamos from fellow corn field, just before dusk. We sat for 40 minutes watching Gull (wheeled sandpiper) (see pp. accept). Made some behavioral observations on intertidal, and took feeding behavior data. Rufous-backed warbler a major part of this community - all over the Llamos. Grid 1 Area, Estancia Weddell, Ptdo de Maduraga, Pcia de Buenos Aires, Argentina. Drove between past Grid 1 on way back from Tower Llamos. First standstill here in several days - a flock of 7 pectorals flying (landed in Grid 9) and 3 GYlegos landed, No WR. Two chick [illegible] beside Grid 1 [illegible] down 16 January 1930 walked to Grid 1 from camp. Flock of ~10 shorebirds, some Peckford and the veet cote flew over but did not land. Brushed around. GYlego in Grid 9, and 3 GYs flying over, Grid 9 in also water level is similar to what it was 20-22 December, when I was making extensive observation on the grid, the contract in shorebird numbers is appalling. Grid 1-is still higher than it was when I began being aware #s of birds in the last cycle. One solitary WR [illegible] walked away at 2000. Grid 4, Estancia Weddell, Ptdo de Maduraga, Pcia Bs Aires, Argentina 17 January half for Grid 4 at [illegible], sunrise at [illegible]. Riffle 100% overcast, light wind, temp in 60's. A few drops of rain fell last night ~0300. The first 2 hours this morning at the grid were spent repairing some damage. Not only were the guy wires broken (described earlier), but also ~30% of the stakes on Grid 4 had been uprooted, and 75% of those on Grid 5. The new grid we placed two weeks ago was all that was gone. Crows had obviously spent the past night around the tower. They
