66 Temascaltepec to Toluca June 4 Broke camp early in the morning and drove to point where we possibly saw a cactus wren - along Real de Arriba. I hunted in oak pine stands and hedgerows for about 1 hour. Acorn-storing woodpecker was fairly common but I heard no cactus wrens. Above this point we climbed through several canyons and stopped for lunch in a good oak-forest -way-hummed. Turdes arresnilis and acorn-storing woodpecker were very common in the oaks but I heard no wrens. We then drove to Toluca, stopping for an hour at a point 15 mi. SW Toluca in the only good pine stand & firs (grand trees - with grassy flats) encountered along the road. I took 6 Trogodytes brunnicallis - which I find abundantly in the firs in family groups. The call note is a nasal chee like that of a nut hatch. I also took a Catharus and a Turdus migratorius. Ptilio [illegible] seen once - a dark headed bird. Teneo was extremely common and several sally-wing hummingbirds were noted. The elevation here is about 9000 ft. Potaloe are grown just below and just above this point. Firs are not so rare on the Volcan de toluca as Heldman describes - but there seem to be many poor good stands & pure firs. Several types of pine are present - a lodgepole type found in dense stands about 10 mi. from Toluca (just before reaching the fir forest where we hunted) - and a larger type which is the dominant species in the higher part of the country.
