Checklist Comments

Got up to the top of Cumbre Kankichancheñago and had some amazing views. Could see part way down the Santeni Valley, and most of the way down the Shaani Valley. Menkoremon was partly socked in with clouds, but still impressive. Could see a dry lagoon / lake in the lower Shaani Valley that would be worth trying to get to in the future. Could see much of the Gran Pajonal, including some large pajonales and some nice patches of forest. Couldn't see Oventeni. Not very birdy at the summit though. Could see north up the Sira quite aways, including some cool steep-sided ridges dropping off to the eastern flanks. Clouds rolled in from the east, so I headed back down slope. Vegetation at the summit was a short scrub, not more than a meter and a half high.
On the way back down the mountain I lost about an hour to a rain storm. Had to hide under a shelter that I made from the tarp to my camping hammock.

  13. Andean Solitaire

    Number observed:  1

    Details

    Odd-looking individual. Chestnut came pretty high up on the belly, the head was entirely gray without any brown on the crown that I could see. I seem to remember the Andean birds having more gray and less rusty color than this bird.
