wr reached by 11. Fished then
until 4 P. M. when wr hoed
out. S. I myself took in all
about 50 small fish only
one (my take) reaching a pound
weight. Saw three broods of
Partridges but as they were
uncommonly wild and had
nothing but my rifle I
did not kill any. One brood
of about a dozen poor from
half open showing among the
firms, going up one or two
at a time. If I had my
B. loader I think I could
have got 5 or 6 down on the
ground at once. S. spent
most of the day shooting along
the path and bagged Canadella's
Petrao Carn. with a number
of smaller birds, including a
very young Empidonas which
I think must be Ocellini,
heard a G. Phil near an
old camp & S. saw the bird
clearly. Find a number of
Orots with my rifle at a
giving large White Donald's which
kept dailing about over my
head but did not succeed
in hitting him. At th
farm at the Cross Place I had
heard on our last trip some C.
Jalasia twittering after dark &
hearing the farms this morning.
