D. Hamilton 1967 journal July 3 From de fusby 1300', 22km N, 11kms Chucuz, Dept. Lima, Peru with a large ground crow. We then went to get breakfast. after breakfast I held Martin to do the skins. I didn't get through with them till about 1030 & then went to skin net again.

The bird now say small as its long legs made it very difficult to put up. As I was getting through with this, the meteorologist at the Overt Experiment Station who in the very early morning brought in two birds that he had shot with a rubber slings. One was a zonotrichia capensis and the other Pyrocephalus rubinus. & states to put up the zonotrichia but for way though I noted he in very bloody (I didn't stuff his mouth with cotton). I decided to disint the specimen for this season as also freezing gums was much faster as the fact that I neglected to weigh it. & then try to put up Vanellus Flycatcher. I didn't have any particular difficulty but still the specimen both twisted. One of the trouble in that the head corrupted concentrated in very crown as particularly near absorbed. & it just stuck to flatten and get in the way. Also the head flight much much for to design. We haven't seen the sun since we got to from de fusby. I claimed the Europe several other times during the day nothing else was seen in it. Because small light shot bird
