Marshall (1942) Cassidix mexicanus V. de Santa Ana - Abundant throughout farms and fincas - nowhere far from habitation lowers. I especially recall the adaptability of this bird as I watched hundreds of them (throughout a large area of finca) feeding in the air about 30' above trees zig-zagging around and catching locust which were for about a week very abundant. Made very fine eating. Very noisy. Chilata Common around habitation, nesting in tall palms. Tangarins aeneus V. de Santa Ana - Found at Laguna de las Barras (cattle there) 2373 I believe. A large flock of 100+ in open plowed flat area & base Cerro de los Naranjos very hard to sneak up on. Feed close together. Chilata noted. Open areas agric. San Salvador Common around government station.
