Back to Civilization

We wrapped up capture in the rice fields with a bang: on friday morning we caught 5 Pectoral Sandpipers, 2 White-rumps and later in the night after taking in all of the nets and othe field equipment, we lost our sanity and went nite-liting and caught 5 Golden-Plovers! That was great. The remaining skeleton crew of Matilde, Julian and I are all so tired and ready to sleep for days. We drove back to Montevideo this A.M. to return a rental car and now have to take care of all those tiny logistical issues before Julian and I depart for Buenos Aires on the ferry tonight. I am ready to return to Buenos Aires for a few days, investigate export and import permits and shipping and head back to the states. I promise pictures this week! Chao!
