K. Selander, 1952 37 August 16 Lengua de Vaca, 9500 ft., Mexico, Mexico in hard work. Some corn fields in the lower parts of some of the larger valleys. Apparently some lumbering in recent years, but still a comparatively good stand of original forests. Pines not common here, although a few present. Pines more common a little lower down from here. Noted a pair of Colaptes calus, a large thrush (Turdus sp.?), and heard Steller jay. Returned to camp around 7:00 P.M. Very cold tonight, much more so than at 15 mi. N Cuernavaca. August 17 Hunting from 7:00 to 9:00. No wrens seen or heard (may have heard one, but doubtful). Took three Cyanotitta stelleri, and a Xiphorhynchus flavigaster. Noted large flocks of chickadees feeding in firs. Flushed some sort of grosbeak on a brushy slope beneath widely spaced firs while retrieving a Steller jay which I had shot. Flushed it twice more, but unable to get a shot. Brown colored, about size of a Texas Night Hawk (C. auripennis) but darker. Acted like a poor-will, i.e. fluttered "moth-like" and lit on ground about 15 feet away. Also noted Basilornis belli (in pairs) foraging near a dead fir and over several to dead tree trunks in a draw near camp. Again impressed by their "wren-like" notes and behavior.
