73 Puerto Garnica, Michoocan June 8 Sibley mentions specimens of Pipilo from "Puerto Garnica," 9,100 ft., Sierra de Ojumatlan, Michoocan. The "Campos de Mexico" book gives the name as "Puerto Garnica" and I judged the elevation to be 8500 ft. and so wrote on tags today. We probably are higher than 8500 ft. At 5:45 A.M. I heard C. megalopterus call near the tent. Hunted from 7 to 9 in a circle close around camp (not more than 3/4 block in any direction). I collected 8 birds, shot but didn't recover 2 more and probably 2-3 more were present. This suggests a "colony" type occurrence as in zonatus. The birds are in the highest parts of tall pines or oaks so that it was necessary to use 16 gauge - full-load shells to get most of them. Generally they were in pairs and were seen chasing each other thru the tops as does zonatus. Others fed on pine branches high up. Calling stopped almost gither at 9:00 and slacked off noticeably around 8:30. I can see no real difference in flight between this form a zonatus. They both have the appearance of a small gain as they glide with tail fanned a bit. The oaks-pines-firs here are very tall trees - 150 or more feet high. Epiphytic moss and lichens are abundant & other types of epiphytic growth is present. Around camp many trees have been logged but there is still a heavy stand of vegetation. There is a good understory of scrubby or small-tree vegetation.
