J.P. Myers 1974 Journal Arroyo Chico (8.12) to (13.24) Estancia Medaland, 35 Km S. of Juancho by road, Ptdo de Madariaga, Pcia de Bs. Aires, Argentina most places there is simply not enough H2O to make a significant shift. First concrete signs of space-specific aggression in fuscicollis this morning - one WR specimen. Suggests slight doubt that it is coincidence that this is occurring shortly after reappearance of last year's barked birds, particularly as it occurred in a flock w/ an odd bird in it. 2 more old breedos reappeared in WR flocky along the Arroyo this morning. By 0900 the wind had increased to a point where it shook the car. From 9 until 1145 I took micro-hope data on Tryngita, Calidris f., and Charadrius falllilandicus across A through the early morning passage north to (3.24) yielded few bandiis in the Arroyo, by 1000, as I worked back, it was obvious that they were increasing. Many (30+) birds were foraging along the upland border of the Arroyo, in the grass. This is particularly true between linear grid subunits B and C, the (11.19) region. totals - (see sighting records) Calidris fuscicollis 106 arroyo Calidris bartrii 6 arroyo 44+up Tringa subruficollis through Arroyo 27 up Tringa flavipes (3.5) CPE, 5 arroyo Pluvialis dominica 100+ up Charadrius falllilandicus 6 arroyo Zonibyx modestus 1 arroyo 1up (11.1) to (19.9) Estancia Medaland, 35 km S. of Juancho by road, Ptdo de Madariaga, Pcia de Bs. Aires, Argentina 24 September 1430 left Farnhouse Monte walking to La Manga in order to survey the effect of today's rain and to move the blind into final position in front of the Polyborus nut. It began raining late last night and by 0300 was going steadily. By 1700 it had accumulated 22 mm. Wind continued throughout the day, and as the rain ceased to dizzle a fog came in, lifting and then closing in by 1800. As a result of the rain there are small puddles in many places, the ground is saturated, yielding water when stepped upon, and some of the Solomon swamps have a small area of surface water (the (19.9) region where the River has been a small shorebird roost gained considerably water as a result of drainage patterns. Other similar depressions in the short grass - marsh / humidity area (oll seed dam) in that vicinity are also reflecting, probably the rain showing some
