Pateka 1946 Oct. 9 His specialty was tigers, and he apparently knows a good deal about their natural history. He is the man who obtained the single specimen of Cyanocorax dickeyi now in the American Museum. This was collected by him during a field trip which he led for the American Museum with a man named Green (sp.?). Rereira proved to be an excellent contact. He put us into touch with Victor Patron, a member of a Mozartan gold mining firm who was familiar with the country into which we wanted to go. Oct. 10 Spent some time walking along shore outside of the Hotel Delmar, where we stayed, and took a series of color shots. Observed three long- and narrow-winged, fork-tailed, large brown birds with white heads, which flew gracefully over the breaking waves and dived intermittently. Could not identify them. Also saw Brown Pelicans, Great-tailed Grackles, a single Bell Vireo that sang repeatedly in a small grove of trees, some gulls and terns about whose identity I could not be sure, and the usual black and turkey vultures. The turkey vulture is relatively uncommon and became increasingly so as we progressed southward.
