Marshall, 1942 35. General Aest Mt. Caraghizine, Dept. Morazan, El Salvador Summary receding from the breeding season. Only Trogon violaceus, Troglodytes insularis birds in song were Dendroica grisea & Cyclarhis glauciventris (occasional) & Jaturns chloropeter & Hylocharis leucotis. Most of birds not on fixed Territories -moving around in large flocks. Distribution of Birds: Very few on fixed territories - mostly big flocks found especially with most species, around edges between fines or oak or oak or brush-etc. These flocks found in all habitats where trees & also sometimes in high brush at edge fines or oaks - seemed to wander some moments, but flocks start out from same places every day (one at the hacienda early am & returning late in afternoon) & others found in some general area each day - others seemed to move from very one side of canyons to other : : not definite conclusion concerning how far they move - certainly all the birds don't move far with the flocks - the jays & orioles move farthest. Birds seen in these flocks - not in fixed habitats : Trogon violaceus (accidental in flocks) Ceophloeus hreatus almost always Antagonychus grasinus sometimes
