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
