J.P.Myers 1973 Journal 2 1km south of tobatí, Dept Central, Paraguay 22 July contd flow, covered in places with heavy scrub including trees up to 15'-20' in height. Also much wild pineapple. Phil shot a grassland sparrow (Myospiza humeralis) which he prepared, and also a house wren, which I did up (05'). Both birds were in the rockier parts of the lava, although not taken together nor at the same place. Although we went by very little habitat that would appear to be suitable for sandpipers, I looked, and saw none. 17 km E of Luque, Dept. Central Paraguay 23 July @ Returned to site of 20 July in afternoon with Phil in order to collect birds, via netting and gun. Heavy overcast, temp in range of 14°-15°. No rain. Stayed until dark after beginning ~3pm. Netted one cardind, 2 creamy-breasted bearded thrush [collected 1], 1 tropical gnateater [?] - cat 07.], shot 1 lesser seedfinch (Phil prepared), 1 chili spinetail (Phil prepared) and 1 Buff-throated Saltator (not prepared).

Morning began overcast, got's but without rain. Began to rain at Paraguay River Ferry. Did so intermittently (and lightly) for 15' 50 or so km. Stayed overcast whole trip. No attempt was made to identify birds, as Phil knew most of the conspicuous ones and we had to reach Km 275 before it began to rain steadily. However, we did stop to try and identify 2 birds, one a probable rufescent tiger heron, and the other a buteo upon which we left undecided. Some of the conspicuous and common birds seen while driving were Jabiru and Maguari Storks, Snail Kites, several species of parrot +
