J.P. Myers 1973 Journal North end of lagoon near retiro at Edebo Ranch (1 Km N of trans-chaco road, 300 km NW Villa Hayes, Dept. Pres. Hayes, Paraguay Aug 31 cont'd 8 peeps 0844 did not stop going south. At about this time a flock of Cardinals (2) and Vermillion crowned flycatchers started feeding in the mud, on the clier vegetation, and some on plants in the water. The flock was fairly coherent, spread over 20' x 10' of shore. [illegible] 0650 [illegible] 4 Yegs almost landed but we were putting up nets + they moved on south. [illegible] 0740 - 3 Yegs headed south. 0755 a large harrier flew low over the marsh, Taucanas scattered in front of it, calling loudly, the few terns flew up to meet it, a long-winged harrier. 8:10 Robin - lila thrush. Vermillion flycatcher on perch since 07:30. I [illegible] set up nets [illegible] extending out across mud flats and sat in nearby scrub watching until 08:30. No SB's showed any sign of landing. At 0830 I reefed the nets, chased off a herd of cows away, and went back to the house. Wind picking up. 65°F by 0815. 4 Yegs flew by just as I was leaving. Trans chaco Road Km 300 - 455 NW of Villa Hayes, Dept Bogocoron, Paraguay Sept 1 left @ retiro at Edebo ranch at 0800, driving NW along trans-chaco w/ Phil et al + Lois. Temp 42°F at 0600. I had checked the NW end of the lagoon at the victors before leaving and there again were 200 migrant SB's. Sky clean, no breeze. Saw solitary sandpiper at km 320, another at ~340 and a third at 365. The last one we collected w/ #6 shot. All these birds were along the edge of the pond which lies the road. Every one that we saw was on a muddy area of one of the ponds there was very few birds when compared with the number of site which looked appropriate, i.e. many mud flats were without these solitary sandpipers. A 4th SB was seen at about 380. No other species of SB seen, except local residents i.e. tern + jaecana. [illegible] 2 sorimina at 425, together
