78 1 km. W Puerto Harnica June 10 Today a Mexican boy brought us a young Pipilo which he claimed to have found and get next. We are going to attempt to raise it. The tail is stubby (1/2" or less long) but the body feathers are well-grown. Its note is a "chreep" - rather "hard on the ear" at close range. Once it gave a shir-eh-tah-shit-clit - clatter (softly) as it attempted to remove a piece of cotton from its head. Sleeps with head turned back over its back. The same boy brought a young - near fledged turdes - but we decided against attempting to raise this bird. Hope to be able to feed the Pipilo some seeds in addition to insects we can capture, Mexican name: "Calieza prieta" South North of the highway the mountain slants off to a valley about 2 miles distant. There is a line of mountain in the distance which appears forested, June 11 There is a good bit of fog here - rolling in about noon and followed by rain in the afternoon. Fog seems to sit just the tops of the hills. June 11 Plants: encino, cucharo (vinea-oak-like), capulin, chancha - all except "square-leafed one or big tree. I see no oaks, I was mistaken before. But there are many. Photos (Took Roll 31 - B & W. + part of Roll 32-color.) notes a bit lower and some along highway near camp.) Drive to Morelia and then to Jrapuato. Noted many chats in desert vegetation near the "lake" we crossed but no wrens.
