Marshall, 1942 General List. Jan 16 Mt. Cacaguigre, Dept Morazan, El Salvador, trees girdled & allowed to die & fall & rot, then coffee & shade trees planted. Heard a grateacher in the brush - saw raven, black vultures & 2 black hawks with pure white tail high up. In afternoon went down into chngs. to north windy. Here a cornfield on east (with weeds & vines growing up) & chaparal on west side - wanted to see if this chaparal was like that growing on the hot south slope of the mt. - was not - composed mostly of vines & ferns - a more humid formation. On edge of cornfield a formes clearing, now grass & brush & bushes & small trees. In bottom, along stream, much deep grass, vines, ferns & groves of bananas which are extremely cold & damp. Here shot a saber-wing. All this once humid oak? timber - succession much different from that on hot south slope. Late afternoon looked for swifts along summit - saw none.
