R.K.Selander, 1953 40 San Pedro Muniz, 3000 ft., Chiapas, Mexico Oct. 19 Fog continued to hang over the area all day. Just north of the Finca there is a steep slope (couldn't see the top because of fog) covered with a forest which looks similar to that which hunted today. Got a good idea of succession after clearing of the humid evergreen forest by observing edges of milpas & abandoned milpos. (Fog prevented getting pictures but other shots I have at Santa Rita, Santa Cruz, etc - will show the same deal). When the milpa is abandoned a thick stand of grass comes in; next a low, thick cover of deciduous shrubs (3-10 feet high, mostly low); next deciduous bushes of fair height along with deciduous trees; finally evergreen species (this last step more or less assumed), good evidence for other stages, however. Since I had no skinning equipment along I packed birds in plastic bag for the night. Just about 6:00 P.M. I heard calls of Calocitta in the forest near the stream. Run to investigate and found another large flock (6 or more birds). Took 3 specimens by wounding one and allowing it to squawk. This excited other birds and they remained in the area - a good technique for getting jays. After getting these birds I heard Xanthoeca calling in a rather deep gully at the stream. Vegetation there was almost all evergreen & similar.
