Chuandrios falllandicus
02
Arroyo Chico, Estancia Medland, 35 Km S. of Trenque Leyes by road, Pdo de Madariaga, Provincia de B
eating Arg.
22 April (cont'd)
2 fallandicus with contiguous territory.
Band 3 Ch.f. today at subunit 1. one @ RoLy lake appeared to have a damaged left
leg, even though it still continued to have territorial fights w/a road neighbor during 15 min
that I watched it. Subunit 2 at 0917 a bleeding pleuroc @ fallandicus. 0928 a
Ch.f. chasing a Cincloida fuscus on subunit 6 (again at 0930 on 7!
25 April
Running down the Arroyo between subunits 8+7 I found Ch.f. Ryo, in itself a not particularly
exciting event. However at 0950 I found Ryo again, this time with another Ch.f. way-out
in the middle of Tamar Llanos with another fallandicus, foraging.
26 April
0945 found Ryo on subunit 6 defending a very small (10m long) territory. Subunit 8-7 is now dry,
and sub 6 has seen a great influx of Ch.falllandicus, WR + Zonibyx which, judging from banked WR
+Zonibyx came from the B-faces. Ryo is limiting its foraging to an approximate 10m stretch
and is defending both ends of the area against intruders-very consistent borders. There are an incredible
# of Ch.f. on subunit 6 - each being territorial, which defending a very reduced area. I took micro-hab-
data on Ryo, + also pictures of it & neighboring Ch.f. Feeding data from Ch.f. Ryo:
