R.K. Selander, 1952 51 August 25 "Monteosa Island", sea level - 30 ft., Laguna Coyuca, Herrero, Mexico. Noted the following animals in one hours hunt: Pelecanus occidentalis - 2 about the shore of the island - Many others in the laguna between Pie de la Cuesta and the island. Finding singly. (Phalacrocorax olivaceus - about 5 seen in laguna) Cosmerodius allens - one in marshy, at western area of island. Coragyps atratus - 2 perched in tree on hill - Very reluctant to fly. Jacana spinosa - 2 Actitis macularia - 10-15 along beach, on rocks. Specimen obtained (not prepared, however). Chlidonias niger(?) - Common in laguna and about the shore of the island. One taken. Scardafella inca - rather numerous. Pigeon sp. - 3 seen. Pointed tails - small, Crotophaga subcirosstrei - common. Chloroceryle americana - 1 Myiarchus sp - rather common. Pitangus sulphuratus - Common. Stelgidofatergx sp. - No recorded hooklets on primaries. May be S. ruficollis, or could be S. ridgwayi. I don't know the range nor characters of the latter. Common in large flock - also separately. Appeared to be resident. One specimen taken.
