JPMaers 1974 Journal 31 Arrayo Chico, Estancia Medeland, 35 Km S. of Juandeo by road, Pcia de Buenos Aires, Argentina 5 March (cont.) Specilled teal 0,11(11); Anas versicolor 9,2(2); Brown headed gull 6,2(8); Rufous bodied Aletrip 2,5(3) Gecrota curvicularis 10(1). By the time that this survey was completed (1980) - the line of cloaca to the S which had previously threatened had disappeared, leaving clear sly. 14 banded (WR), 5 banded Charadrius falcon dicens. Water level in the Arrayo unchanged. Towerlures Estancia Medeland, Pto de Madariaga, Pcia de Buenos Aires, Argentina. 0900 drive onto llanos searching for Thino corus in thistle area. Found four, collected two (092,093). Also collected a solitary butterfly (094). Rte 11 Brd, Estancia Medeland, Pto del Madariaga, Pcia de Buenos Aires, Argentina. After leaving Arrayo, I had drove out to Rte 11 paralleling Farmhouse Rd. The pond to the north is almost dried, with a 2m band of black mud surrounding less than 2cm of water on both sides. One Lyllag feeding there. However, as the S. South considerably more under remains, united the borders are as yet vegetation covered (as in most of the water). Greater and Lesser Yellow legs present, as well as 6 Pectrals! This is the largest group of Pectrals I have seen since returning from Paraguay. Farmhouse Rd, Estancia Medeland, Pto de Madariaga, Pcia de Buenos Aires, Argentina Returned to farmhouse via circuitous route, looking for flocks of Bufffis and/or scolopace. Followed Rte 11 pond W to fence, then this fence E as far as a drying pond, ~2 Km. The road roughly parallel to the fence. At the pond, after circling around it, I returned to the fence until it intersected with an N-S fence, which I took S to the road. Crossing the bridge, I then followed the S fence southward away from the road for ~1.5 Km until it intersected an E-W fence, which I followed E until it was approached by the road at a point ~1 Km W of the farmhouse. [illegible] At one point, denoted A on the map, I crossed the fence onto Estancia La Diana and walked to Arrayo Chico The most striking thing about this expedition was the lack of what I sought. No Gullin, no scolopace, Nor any Ocreopholus. Only Silipirina (fledy), Sicalis - curvularis flocks, many many Anthus.
