JPMyers 1974 Nycticyphus sciniollaris Tower Llamos, Estancia Medeland, 35 Km S. of Juancha by road, Ptdo de Madariaga, Proia de Bs. Aires, Argentina 31 March (contd) I was able to see it for over an hour (intermittently) it was only poorly visible. spent large % of time preening, roosting with bill tucked, interspersed with a few feeding bouts. The bird frequently closed its eyes while feeding. Scratches with foot OUTSIDE (not [illegible]) wing - this I saw twice - like Scolopax. Mouth of Canal 7 into Laguna Mar Chiquita, 21 Km N of Mar Chiquita by road, Ptdo. de Mar Chiquita, Proia de Bs. Aires, Argentina 3 April found one Night in pre-dawn hours 06:15 while we were putting out landing net. It reached complacently to my head-lamping it, & afterwards remained foraging on the broad mud flat. We only saw it near the edge, within ~20' of [illegible] a patch - I take which line the shore at this point. Estancia Medeland, 35 Km S of Juancha, Ptdo de Madariaga, Proia de Bs. Aires, Argentina: 10:30 - walked through section of toles in the swamp where heretofore Nycticyphus abounded (as late as 31 March, my last visit). Absolutely more spooked, the water reaches the now in only [illegible] one place on the marsh - an ~3 m stretch across from the bleid. Elsewhere here is dried or partially chilled mud border separating the tole. Mouth of Canal 7 into Laguna Mar Chiquita, 21 Km N of Mar Chiquita by road, Ptdo. de Mar Chiquita, Proia de Buenos Aires, Argentina 26 November spooked one Nycticyphus during an early morning walk at this location today. [illegible] (species I've seen this year - but the Medeland habitat where they were so abundant last year was dry/barely to fill up with much needed H2O.)
