Tric Trac Pt. 3Km SE of Bgyour, Dept. Puerz, Peru. Elev. 100'
July 26 Red-legged Cormorant, Phalacrocorax gaimardi. We took the
gun and went up a bit when it was afternoon, I came
to be feeding about 20 yds from shore and close in then other
species. Reg shot at missed but bird did not fly, he got it with
his arms shot. Reg was reluctant to go into the after he feared
of nearly poisoned but he finally went. Then we also quite a
few green turtles in the water near shore and Roy finally saw
one today. O’Connor told them conveniently he with net attempts
they get him then a dollar a piece for them. On our way
back we saw some Olivaceous Cormorant, Phalacrocorax olivaceus
resting on rocks at water edge, & went up to the bluff close then
we tried to sneak down enough for a shot. They flew before I was
ready to shoot but I was able to kill one anyway. When we got
back to the main station at Tric-Trac Pt. we saw a Great Sable
Lobster Major swimming near shore and managed to catch
that so we all came back with a bird. On the way back I collected
two
a lizard by shooting it. After supper Cast went up at Trap & he nearly killed. During the afternoon Phil caught me a Gecko that
he found in a light parted shed. That Gecko was taking a good
biter no could catch it. After supper we went Gecko hunting—Reg
and I and managed to catch one, & Gecko is 9 inches long and
our two Tropidurus sp. lizards. After this we went to bed.
July 27 The morning was foggy and cool as usual in this place. After
breakfast the guy in charge of this station took me in to look at
what more or less photos that they had. I have that they had some
pretty good but unfortunately they lacked many maps of photos
and the information for much of because dear would not be available
