D. Hamilton 1967 Journal July 11 I km N, 12 km E of Paricoto, Dept Ancash Peru Elev 8000' See young. I follow the bird as put last #9 shot in my gun but was unable to flush the bird again. After this I return to camp and worked at putting up the birds that I had already shot. I checked net several times and got some Tinamous Paper-collect Sparrow, Zonotrichia capensis. Also many a Blackish-throated Turkey so which he put up. During the morning I saw one Giant Hummingbird, Patagona gigas. It had disappeared before I was able to get gun. The bird had disappeared. Ray managed to get several lizards. He noosed some and got some with sniffer bands. About 1600 Call drew up not to set traps higher as Ray and find out trap. I took the gun and went searching for tinamous for supper. I did flush a Tinamous when I was standing still for a few seconds. It flailed with loud whirring wings and dropped over my left hill. I stood transfixed through the whole performance. I did immediately follow this as went to where I thought it landed. I stopped again as the bird flushed. This time I shot at to my surprise it fell like a rock. I went and picked it up as then we met for supper. Both times when I saw Tinamous flying they flew straight without sudden change in direction, after 30-40pm, sky set rain as if he went madly behind a hill. They seem to be rather easy to shoot when they are flying. I didn't put this bird up because it was young.
