journal 103 Myrna Leong 1969 5Km. NE Pacasmayo, 200ft., Depto. La Libertad, Peru Aug. 29 (cont.) mosquite and brush were growing. I saw a Turkey vulture, a bitio, a small dove, a vermillion flycatcher, and some small greyish birds with white outer tail feathers this afternoon. Tomorrow we will go to Trujillo to get our gas tank fixed and the tire that went flat today mended. It was windy until about 7:00pm tonight when the wind died to a breeze or occasional gust. Aug. 9:00 pm Went out to look for geckos up the the dry, barren, rocky hillside. I found 5 (MAL 355-359) and Ray got 3. Checked my net a couple of times and found nothing in it, although I hear bats calling. Aug. 30 In my mist net this morning was a whiporwill and something that looks like a seedeater. (MAL 360+361). I caught an Atrygopus in a pile of old, cobwebby brush along the fence of mosquite under a large tree. There was a little hole made through the brush and I had set the trap there. The area smelled very ratty. Dr. Koford didn't catch any- things in his trap or net, and Ray didn't get anything in his net. I put up the whiporwill+ steamed the seedeater & Atrygopus, and we left at about 9:00 am for Trujillo. Arrived in Trujillo at 11:30am and ran various errands. Today is some holiday, however (Festival de Santa Rosa) and we couldn't get the car fixed. We left Trujillo at 2:00pm, and [illegible] headed east on the road
