Parus wollweberi
Oct. 22 El Batel, 5100 feet, Sinaloa
Fairly common in the oak-june woodland,
generally avoiding the more dense, almost forest-
like stands. Observed repeatedly in the past
week, most frequently in small flocks accompa-
ned by creepers, kinglets, migrant warblers, etc.
and calls.
In actions this species is distinctly chickadee-like; and resembles P. atricapillus or P. gambelii
more closely in these respects than P. bicolor or
P. unimaculatus. Once a lone individual was found
singing; the song was similar to that of the
two "titmice" mentioned above, put-o-puto-puto;
except that it seemed to be given more rapidly
and did not sound quite so loud.
