Basileuterus culicivorus
August 7 2 mi. S Coatipec, 3700ft., Veracruz, Mexico.-A pair
loosters today foraging in a thicket of coffee bushes.
Behavior is very worm-like. They were easily squeaked
up into view. I collected one (shot it) and the other
perched about a foot above the dead brush and
eyed it for several seconds. The notes are noisy
and varied - a clicking sound. Birds stay well
down near the ground at all times.
