JPMyers 1974 Journal Tower Claims, Estancia Medelord, 35 Km S. of Juancho by road, Ptdo de Madariaga, Provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina 7 March (cont) After leaving the Lentin grid we drove out onto Tower Vamos, looking for Tryngito and thinoconus. Found 8 of former (collected one (096)) but no seedsinge. The small quantity of traffic has decreased drastically since 5 March. Rte 11 Ptdo Estancia Medelord, Ptdo de Madariaga a, Provincia de Buenos Aires Argentina 1100 drove to Rte 11 pond air order to collect Perdrol. Found 4 of these, but could not shoot em down. (see ap. accent) Mouth of Canal 7 into Laguna Mar Chiquita, 21 Km N. of Mar Chiquita by road, Ptdo de Mar Chiquita, Provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina 8 March reached Canal 7 at 0745 - at the time of sunrise - arriving in an unusual dense fog which had much more depth to it than the normal morning mist. The fog had also been present at Medelord when we left, ~15 Km to the North. Temperature warm - 18°C. These last few nights have been in great contrast to the chill of last week. Upon reaching the canal we drove E along the 1 km dirt road which follows to the mouth of Canal 7 into Mar Chiquita.

After we stopped at the end of the road. Then, while preparing my collecting equipment, I detected Greater Vlogs, + a few WR flying solitary overhead. However, I was not impressed by their great quantity at this point. Following the Canal, I proceeded 200 m to the shallow mouth at Mar Chiquita. Coming through a patch of tule along the shore, I detected the largest flock of WRumps that I have seen for several months. (Counting to the edge of invisibility - reduced) to less than 100m by fog, I detected just under 200 WR. And their density gave me hint of tapering off beyond the limits of my vision. Oh joy. Ch. bliss. Ch. rapture. Walking upshore along the shore to the South, ~100 m, yielded at least 200 more. By this time, however, it was apparent that the birds were moving in response to my wanderings. I then went due E into the Laguna (which - even shallower than the last
