JPMYERS 1974 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. Podiceps major Enicognathus ferrugineus Pyrope pyrope (many) Phalacrocorax olivaceus Bubo ? or [illegible] (heard at night) Anairete sp Milvago chimango Aphrastura spinicauda very common Phrygilus patagonicus Fulica (leucoptera?) Pteroptochos tarnii - many Larus dominicanus Sceolorchilus rubecula (heard ?)
