Immediately I saw 2 buffie flying + through bino's several more on a field of short grass, but the consensus was to push on. Another Wilson's phalarope at the same place the 1st one was collected at ~1730. Many chachalaca on the road. Got 2 deer, saw 2 more. Reached transchaco at • 1810, dusk.

Arrived 0645. 6 lesser Yeggs + 1 W. phalarope. 15 minute later 1 white-rumped and 1 semipalmover showed. Then 2 more semi-palm plowers. the Yeggs + phalarope flew across the road to the other pond, both landed at the edge (only 2 Yeggs) + then returned. Collected WR + one semi-plover. Returned to line camp and then packed to go home. Wind very strong from north. Hazy with dust but no clouds. Warm at dawn, in 60°F at least. See white-rumped species account for better description above habitat Transchaco road Km 300 - O.W of Villa Hayes, Dept Pres. Hayes, Paraguay Started for home at • 0930. Wind staying strong, clear. The amazing thing about the trip was that we saw NO sandpipers between Rio Verde + Villa Hayes, despite concerted & fully consistent effort. After the experience Sept 3 west of Km 300 this is very surprising, especially in light of the much greater amount of water available east
