R. K. Salander, 1954 31 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.
