Marshall, 1942
El Salvador
Jan 5 Mt. Caraquatique, Dept. Morazan
just would sit & call from one
tree, then fly to another & call
some more. One, howeveres, rummaged
thru some lower brush & may
have been feeding. Rest set in
trees above height of brush. Not
a compact flock - just all within
calling distance. All specimens
had berries & pits in stom.
Buds? & flowers? also.
1681 Lepidocolaptes affinis taken in this
for mixed flock as worked out
along a small, horizontal oak
branch. Saw a sm. green
snake which ran under a log -
many Balaenophys, orioles, robins
(not in this flock), a resident Redstart,
warblers, 2 inca doves; many
Columba 'flaviostriis', & a group
of about 10 Tyrannus verticals
in tops dead trees. The tyranns
were moving along as a flock
& I saw abt 6 take off & fly high
& uphill all at same time.
Jan 6 a.m. Collected in deep, cool canyon
running north, on east side of ridge
where we are camped. Steep sides,
shaded below in forenoon; very wet
