12 mi. SSW Boca del Rio - Papaloapan, Veracruz
May 21 twice over the same spot. These birds worked back and
forth over a limited area. Collected one or two of which were only partially enlarged. Saw one other.
E.minor near the bridge over the Rio Blanco near La Tenaja.
May 22 Hunted across road from camp 12 mi. SSW Boca del

in the vegetation. Weather drove along SW where
the road is lined with mango trees & fields of sugar
