B. Hamilton 1967 Found 11 Km S of Chiclayo, Pan Am Highway, Dept. Lambayeque, Peru, Elevation 100. 4 Sep We did see Military Starlings, and Saffron Finches along the way as well as Bottled Black Turkey Vultures and Sparrow Hawks. We stopped in Chiclayo at about 1400 to do some shopping, and visited the travel agent and told him that we would not be back.

Mockingbird, Humming, dove, Scissorbill and others were in the area. 2 flushed caprimulgids from similar area to the E. We arrived at about 1700, set up camp and then got out the binoculars; about 2030 I checked
