Aires, Argentina 22 September (cont'd) flock of Tryngite + Ploviatis, presumably) take off from (9,18) region. 1VC at that time = 600 ft. They whirled over that area for several minutes and then apparently landed in that vicinity. There were at least two large groves, visible from that distance (2.5 km) against a sitting soup. 2 obvious size clears. 1803 5 Tryngite appeared in front of us (1VC = 500 ft.), flying around, apparently holding but not landing in the 20 Sept. roosting site. 1865 Cinereous harrier going over. 1VC at 1810 = 2400 ft. 1810 - 3 Tringa f. going over and 10 Tryngite beginning to circle, going down in the roost site and last year at the edge of a patch of Salamanca, in trampled short-grass. 3 more Tringa at 1815. Buffle at 1816. 20 buffle going toward Tower (Viano) swamp and beyond - 1816, going down beyond now fence butt before Sparkina. 1820 1VC = 260. golden going over them and a Tringa, 1825 6 WR.

Described as figure 8, flying 200 m + beyond. 1835 (1VC = 80 ft.) the buffle flock went down of 20 Sept site. 1836 18 WR going off toward 2nd windmill. 1838 buffle group allows started to feed after sitting quietly all Sunny E. 1838 the flock took off. At this point I stopped doing anything but following the major buffle flock. They eventually landed ~ 500 m E from the car, just W of a bare-mud part of Tower (Viano) swamp in Distachio. It was approximately at 1840 that goldens became very numerous in the air, including a flock of 30-40 which landed where the buffles had been. At ~ 1910 4 Rheas scared the buffles, and I lost them as they flew. We found much later, that they had landed in the same area. 10/13 (8,10) Fe (3,24) Arroyo Chico, Estancia Medeland, Pato de Madalinga, Proia de Bs.
