May 6 Hepatic tanager, blue mockingbird, rose-throated berrcard,
smuel Embidonax, an Aimophila (rufescens ??), - but
no cactus wrens. Took a picture of the town of
Huajolotitlan showing each - fences - Housefinches
were abundant in the colonia but we heard no
wrens. Saw numerous rock wrens along road
& several Canyon wrens near river in what seem-
ed to be rock wren habitat. (Canyon wrens were
singing yesterday around our cottage at the
Oaxaca Castle in Oaxaca)
At point 3 miles NNW Huajuapan I hunted in a
Standley fan palm & broad-leaved stand without
seeing wrens, although Pipilo nuttli was common.
This stand was probably too low for wrens as
we found them at a point 9 mi. NNW in the same
vegetation - only here the trees were much larger.
May 7 At about Km 320 we descended into a wide valley &
we said - 2nd of palms - then followed a dry
stream north. At Km. 300 we hit good S. Puebla
desert vegetation. Picture taken at Km. 300.
C. jocosus -> Saw @. jocosus cross road at Km. 217;
> We re-joined Lamb at his camp along the highway at Km.
193, where we pitched the tent near a river lined with
Taxodium & surrounded by fields in cultivation.
