R.B. Hamilton 1967 5 Sept. 30 Km S, 20 Km E of Chichua. Dept Lambayeque Peru. Elev 100' mim trees in the same area as many birds especially brown and blue flashing coper finches. M hiked 3 miles after crossing the river seen some more an area that looked especially good. Then also many man treads at this location as it looks like several P. gerbilis or dorados. Theres still a little settlement still early in Sept, seem reading no find a good gray W and matizet and find several suitable camping spots. M then decide to head E on the road on some point N of san river (which is hardly a trail) and to head for San Jose and Trujillo Cayalti. The road we chose seems to be going to sugar exporting for the area as many dropped suga canner the road almost seemed paved with them. This road climbs gradually and are surrounded by sugar cane in irrigated parts and mosquito vegetation similar to what we had seen in the Duchado's in the non-irrigated parts. There seems to be many birds in the mosquito but then were no places to park. Mended about 20 Km's up the road as soon to a farm to lodge night. Saw an animal animal gnaws on corn husk. M stopped at one are saw about 20 Snowy Egrets, Egretta thula in this pond or addition then next Lesser Yellowlegs Tringa flavipes, Greater Yellowlegs Tringa melanoleuca , spotted sandpiper, Actitis macularia, Pectoral sandpiper, Calidris melanotos , Baird's Sandpiper, Calidris bairdii, many Wilson's Phleops Stenomopus tricolor and some smaller sandpipers probably Calidris pusillus . The birds especially the Phleops were very restless often taking off and flying in water. It appears the they are migrating and are about ready to move on across the road in another small group with smaller numbers of the same thing. On next highpoints are standing about 50 Black Vultures circling together. Brown Nills aniis Catophaga subminotis are also present here. To Lima 18 Sept
