Hamilton 1967 Journal 18 July 1967 Punta Aguja, 37km SW of Secura, Dept Pisco, Peru. 100' About 1600 after breakfast was getting good light to make a trip to Punta Aguja which was about a few an hour walk up a road. On the way we stopped at scaly head as trail went down. There were many dead Brown Pelicans and some Cormorants. Observation of Brown Cormorant seen resting on branch in water with 3 young still doing well this time. Several Black Tern chlidonias nigra were also seen. Geositta pyrrhitis ran along trail and did same on earth. Both Vultures, both Andean Condors and Brown Pelicans also plenty. About 10 Bankling Cistris 2162 feet along trail. One Black Swift stelo 495 Heckelopes after was seen. About 1645 we went the Punta Aguja set my camp and put up traps. A put trap at in rocky down with little vegetation. I put at 41 traps. After supper I wrote notes for a while on the next birds hunting with Reg (This captain is an old & worthy came from a family field war sea). We caught 12 Bishops. They were easy to eat with Mexican beans, for simplicity but was difficult when beans went out. Triceratops caught 2 Bishop's together. I by all seemed to be in Caneus Phyllotitis and we probably caught at least 2 species. The one worth caught a few before a summer in small vegetation. One were caught a certain surface. 19 July I got up about 0600 and set & get my traps. I had 3 traps turned over, probably by foxes. I caught one more that Carl called Phyllotis dorwusi. I also caught the best part of the tail feathers of Marmosa. They were in town but I got. When checking traps the only birds seen were Geositta pyrrhitis and several Turkey Vultures, Cathartes aura. On the trail were both species of Vulture, Brown Pelican, Pelecanus occidentalis. Flying over was Peruvian Booby, Sula variegata, Blue-footed Booby, Sula nebouxii, Olivaceous Cormorant, Phalacrocorax olivaceus, Guzman Cormorant, Phalacrocorax bougainvilli,
