August 24 Pie de la Cuesta, 20ft., Guerrero, Mexico. - one bird
perched on mangrove tree at edge of laguna. I
approached to within 30 yds. in a boat and shot
at it, but failed to injure it (had only half loads
with me at the time). It took off and circled out
over the laguna and dock. Took another shot at it
but no luck. The bird finally flew to the east
several hundred yds. and perched again in the
top of a mangrove. - later in the day (± 12:00)
I noted a bird of the species flying along the edge
of the laguna near the spot where I encountered
the one in the morning. - May have been some
individual.
