Greene, H. 1980 30 November and a pretty dark gray w/ lemon yellow (continued) belly, sawed Phylloctylos under it. Saw no other kerys. Several fins saw a small dark bird w/ a scarlet belly that I later learned is called "putilla" (little whore) because of the colors. Also "Savannah Hawk" a large, orange mottled hawk in a tree beside a rice field N. of Sullana. Numerous egrets there too. Arrived in Talara, went straight to Nogitos to talk w/ Frank and Jeanne Jowry and John and Naida Borling, who teach 8 grades of the American school here (run by Belco Petroleum Co.), John hunts a lot and has the skin of a large Callopietes he shot somewhere in the foothills (E. Piura Prov.). Says he's seen a few others, including a big one crossing the road 1/2 up the hill going out of Talara to Nogitos. This is an aridian sand dune area w/ a few low, broad shrubs. John went with us to get a room in Talara (Hotel Huaros, ~$10/night for 2) and then took us to see Julius Boos - of all things, a friend of George Gorman's (UCLA) known to me
