General Account
at Canagatine, Dept. Morazan, El Salvador
Dec 27 went to top of east peak directly
5 camp & hunted in virgin groves
of oaks. Few birds seen - rather
late in day. 1 flock jay, several
flocks warblers & tanagers, green-
woodpecker & woodhewer. Also
got in a large flock on saddle
east of this peak. Myiarchus, woodpeckers,
tanagers, warblers, thrushes, etc. These
oak groves are composed of a few
very large old trees which are tall,
then many spindly young trees
making a rather dense stand but
there is almost no undergrowth -
easy to walk around. Denser & larger
trees on n slopes ; dense stands
of smaller trees elsewhere.
Dec 28
Walked east on main road to virgin
oak association or outskirts of pines
on west exposure where dense forest of
oak. Saw russet-backed & gray thrushes
& a pair of sm. woodhewers. Around
on the sunny east-facing slope was
oak & pine forest where 60 vermilion
trogon was singing (cdl.) also a cotiga.
In a pure pine grove was a flock of
warblers, one which I tried to collect,
was singing with song - Audubon's W.
