37 Veinicty Fortini, Veracruz May 13 grayi, combined, grackle, black-throated green warbler (= D. merensis), Centurus aurifrons (common). May 14 drove to Orizaba and then up a dirt road south of the town which leads to San Pedro Tequila: After leaving Orizaba we crossed a canyon where there was a slow moving stream lined with large sycamores + tropical trees and a few tree ferns. The road then led up a steep canyon (no water in the rocky stream bed) through dry pine forest. We drove up 9 miles which is nearly to San Pedro Tequila. There is a good stand of sycamores along the stream bed but the slopes of the canyon are rather dry. The pines are widely spaced & dry. At a point 9 miles up, the road (~600 feet) there is a semi level valley but the whole area, including the slopes is in cultivation. High up on the ridges above this valley there is a thin cover of pines. Noted a Atlapetes leucopis musca along the dry stream bed beneath the sycamores and we saw a few junicos. Up to 3000 feet we heard an occasional brown jay and solitaires seemed common in the canyon (in pines), but we saw very few birds. I heard wrens calling along the river on the first we crossed just 2 miles, or so S Orizaba but found no further signs of them above that point. I doubt that wrens occur anywhere in this general area.
