R. K. Selander, 1954 10 1.5 mi. NE Los Amates, 2600ft, Chiapas, Mexico March 17 by a hummingbird calling excitedly and flying repeatedly towards it as it sat perched in a small tree about 15 feet from the ground. At night we heard other small owls calling. March 18 Bonnie & I drove into Tuxtla Gutierrez to see M. Alvarez del Toro. He is not willing to go out in the field at this time so we made arrangements to hire Bonifacio and then left Tuxtla ad drove back to Lomle's camp. Most of the trees around Tuxtla have shed their leaves but a few seem to be leafing out again. Nothing new at the Museo zoolgico since my visit in October, 1953, but Alvarez showed me a pigeon hawk he recently collected near his home and a strange little owl he took near Las Casas which we could not identify. We arrived back in camp about 5:00 P.M. In the early evening I heard a Glaucidium calling near camp so I started answering the call and soon a small owl of this genus flew in and perched near me in a tree. After shooting this bird I continued calling - giving an imitation of the pygmy owl note - too-too-too-too-toot. I noticed a large owl-like bird fly in toward us and perch on a tree stump about 12 yards from our position. Just as I prepared to fire the bird flew from the perch toward us, then turned and returned to the same perch, where I shot it. It was a Nyctibius griseus.
