B. Hamilton 1967 Journal July 14 On Route to Chiclayo, Dept Lambayeque Peru. On way we saw one of the low (6') dense whist over stabilized by lower coppa vegetation. The south side of the road was covered with brush. They all appeared fresh as many were accompanied by tail drag snakes. We looked around from dawn to dusk for signs of the creature making their trade but will find nothing, all gave way in the part where the brush disappears down lower but this too was unsuccessful. On thing until the last place there came the English Sparrow, Passer domesticus seen at the little town of Donselburgo on the Panamerican Highway a little short of Chiclayo. About 1330 we arrived in Chiclayo where we stopped and had our gasoline frozen lantern repaired ($ 2 for quick work every since we bought it). We had lunch and tried to pick up our mail but it had not arrived yet. During the course of the day I picked up a ticket (probably losing our 64 Design plates). We left town about 1700 and headed through Lambayeque. We turned west 5 mi of Lambayeque (about 3 km) on the road to Morrope, we caught it 0815. Between Chiclayo and Lambayeque we passed through an area which held desert plants and animals. We saw Red-breasted Meadowlark, Sturnella militaris or Tropical Kingbird, Tyrannus melancholicus as well as Common Egrets Casmerodius albus and Snowy Egret Egretta thula. The area in which we camped is mostly a sandy desert with scattered mesquite trees and scattered small evergreen bushes. I saw several flowers for most of picked up brush. I set up camp as the other set out traps in the location.
