March 19 Big day w/ stuffed owl on ball-
side across from camp which was one,
cloud forest but now logged & 2nd pass dense & 20-30' high also many
big oaks left. Birds much more
numerous here than in cloud forest
but not all cloud forest species here
(i.e. no turdus, no Myiodes). There
are many crakers & vireos.
Set the only up 3 times & got the
following to call or come around:
2 Otis tricolor (just heard), 3 Aspatta,
several pairs thryothius modestus Catharus
occidentalis; 1 measel which I shot
with .22 rmp as hopped over leaves.
1 flock 5-6 jays with white over eyes-
not sure which sp. - Catharus aurantulus;
came close but not seen, many Chlorospingus
Wilsonii; 2 Myioborus, 1 Dealearia lpergia,
Saw several Empidonaxs Oporornis on
edge but not within this tract of forest.
March 31-April 1 Took all into trip down w. slope-
halfway down to San Ignacio where grew
Pinus discarpa on a ridge. Just bunch grass
& sparse low bushes beneath ~ transition
in Sierras. Has been burned. Called for Otus
columellaris at inlet (full moon) but lead
