Camp list
10 Km S. of Epayen by road, Ricia de Chubut, Argentina
21 May
regenerating scrub forest following an old fire - Austrocedrus present (but scant), some Alerces, many Lomatia
otlicua, some Rosa, some Berberis. Camp was placed near the road as it edged along the top of a sloping
surface just above a deep (50 m) stream cut. 150 m up hill the slope became abrupt + rose 100 or so m to the
cut of a hill. The slopes of this hill, particularly the SE and a ravine, were much more brushy than
the rest of the area. Temperature at 10 AM = 2°; 100% cloud cover. We were just below the snow line - visible
all around us or adjacent hills + mountains, particularly across the valley.
Chlorophaga picta - 15 flying over
Vultur gryphus - 6 spiralling ~8 Km down the road (+ thus technically not part of the camp list)
Milvago chimango 2
Enicognathus ferrugineus 3
Glaucothorax nivium - 1 perched on dead tree near camp
Aphrastura spinicauda - 2 small fledges in scrub
Sylviothryothorus leucurus? - 5 (?) - very common in scrub
Asthenu sp (?) ??
Pteroptochos tarnii at least 2 - loud - best call remarkable. SCNB (not dense forest)
Anairete spp. (parvus?)
Phrygilus sp ?
Spinus sp ?
Lago Futalaufquen, Parque Nacional Los Alerces, Ricia de Chubut, Argentina
22 May
forest bordering E shore of large lake, ~2500'. Thick Austrocedrus forest with stands of Nothofagus, Alerces,
Rosa, Lomatia, many [illegible]. Beneath some of the Nothofagus there was bamboo. Very dense undergrowth
in many places, but elsewhere heavily grazed by sheep. Hidden in the forest we found a potato field.
