Arroyo Chico, Estancia Mikeland, Pto de Madariaga, Pcia de Bs Aires, Argentina
Returned to Arroyo in late afternoon and at 1752 began taking following data on Ry100 at
subunit 5 (all WR sp accent; linear grid following data book). There is at least some as yet of a territorial
spacing system remaining within the WR's here along subunits 4,4-5,5, on the linear
gird. However the Zonibyx and Zonibyx offer a much more clear-cut case. (Cloud
cover 90% with a moderate N wind. Temp = 12°. Stormy-looking. See [illegible] WR sp accent)
also [illegible] Vanellus sp accent.)

temperature this morning at 0800 = 7°C; sun an horizon at 0821. 0% cloud cover; wind =
slight from S(0). I began reading the linear grid at 0826.
Grid totals: White-rump
[illegible] (total)
12, 0(20); Hudsonian godwit 3,0(2); EY leap 1,0(1); Southern lapwing 0,1(1); Charadrius falcklandius 5,18(23);
Zonibyx modestus 0,7(7); Black-nucked Stilt 5,10(15); Maguari Stork 0,4(4); Cocciheron 0,1(1); Speckled teal

fussus 1,0(1); Corydothera japt 0,1(1). Running down the Arroyo after the grid sample, total were:

landed Chyfalk and 2 Zonibyx. (see WR, [illegible] Chf. spp accent). After running down
a panel over the Nuevo, seeing ~25 Zonibyx (all species), 100+ Thaincorus, 10-15 Ocrephodus,
and 0 Tryngites. 1023 began taking Ry100 WR following data (see WR sp accent).
The wind, which had changed to now out of the South and strong so pushing the wind up the
Arroyo, piling it up.

netting on subunit 1 - put up net by 0740. There was a minimum of 2 WR roosting marks,
as well as Ch.falcklandicus. Netted 3 WR, 3 Ch.falls, and 2 Zonibyx, all fly-fleck 2
landed except for one Zonibyx which perched in the net (collected:135)
