JP Myers 1943 Journal Laguna las Flores Grande Rio Salado at Puente Romero, 27 km SW of San Miguel del Monte by road, Partido del Monte, Provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina Sept 15 Arrived at marsh just east of bridge (Puente Romero) around 1000 w/ Lota, M.A.E. Rumboll, + Jorge Rodriguez Mata There had been a heavy frost the previous night, clear, this with or morning it was clear, wind from NE (15-20 mph), + cool - temp in 50°F's. We circled the marsh by car 1st to the north + then back around to the south, both times heading west from the bridge. On the south the Rio + the marsh are both salt. There is some flood marsh starting up in this, the spring, but much of it is a low dead grass, open water, or fairly empty salt flat (upon closer examining the flat even found to be sparsely covered by a grazed stubble. The water line has obviously been much higher + most of the land that is within 30 yds of water is muddy enough to be slipping to walk or drive on, even tho there is a powder on the plants - dust because of the lack of recent rain. We went from the north side of the bridge out west along the N shore for ~2 km until stopped by a fence. Only shorebirds seen 2 flocks of Hudsonian godwits, and many BW Stilt (of course lapwings). This shore had no exposed mud to speak of, with the water running up to just into a thick grass ~8" high. We then returned + went along the S edge out to the point where the Rio Salado flows towards the marsh.
