B. J. Jamulston 1967 Journal July 9 Casmara Highway, on route to Huamanga, Dept. Arequipa, Peru. July 9 We awaken at 0615 to a clear day. Mr. misses the opportunity and litters in stream after breakfast. Brown of the park around us didn't try to shoot any birds and then were many around Mimus longicaudatus, Pyrocephalus rubinus, Cinclodes, sp., Troglodytes rufus, Sporophila, sp. were among some of the birds that were desired, as we were getting ready to leave we watched the fog creep up the valley toward our camping spot. We were just about on the fog arriving. We continue up the canyon following the stream. All available space seems to be used for agriculture. We pass through a little town called Parizoto. 2 Km N. of Parizoto a flocking about 16 Parrots were observed. To left side road noting an Araçara tree about 20 yds. from road. Carl was going to try to shoot one but they flew before we could change ammunition in the gun. They are large with long pointed tail and legs and they were green with red around bill and at end of wing. I look in a book and determined that the parrots are probably Aratinga wagleri, a fath further on we stop by the road where we saw some lizards. Ray got out his noose and went after the lizards. He got two kinds of agamids and in addition we saw Teidea legisti. Ray also went to creek and caught a few frogs. Carl shot a lizard at this location. After about an hour at this location which was mostly a rocky, rocky area near the stream with some bamboo growing on moss or mud. We did get some tender poles for use in holding the mist nets. This location was at about 6000' altitude and 66 kilometer from Casmara. At about 7800' the country is mostly grassland with scattered grain fields. Then we saw a hawk, Geranoaetus melanoleucus
