R.K. Selander, 1952 Camphorhynchus schulzi August 21 Pie de la Cuesta, 20 ft., Guerrero, Mexico. - Iris of adults apparently rich red-brown. Feet slate, more blue than purple, although a purple cast in some individuals. Tarsus like wire. Specimen 1317 had eye a dull brown with very slight outer edging of pale blue. Its skull was only partially ossified like this: [Drawing] Has worn, apparently adult plumage, but ? with no brood patch and very minute ova. August 22 Two juveniles with pin-feathers on belly. One specimen apparently adult (#1334) but two non-ossified or at least partially ossified areas in skull. [Drawing] May be peculiar condition = (abnormal adult), as specimens were otherwise adult. This species fairly abundant in this area. Observed birds in pairs and groups of 5-6 individuals in mangroves, palms, and thorny bushes. Rather easily approached. Behavior similar to C. superciliosus rufinucha (Vera Cruz) but possibly more active and noisier. Birds usually encountered in mangroves or other broad-leaved tree-shrubs, especially when latter are in rows. Not found much in open areas, preferring rather thick cover. Often seen in tops of coconut palms. Usually in pairs in palms. Seems to fly from bushes to trunk of palm tree and then climb to the coconuts - tail not used as support during climb. Flight is straight - seems rather labored
