Vicinity of Ixtapan de la Sal
June 14 Hunted about 3 mi. from Ixtapan de Sal and at some
elevation on road to Coatepec in a stand of juniper and
leguminous short trees . Saw Thryomanes bewickii,
goldfinch, and Melospiza kienneri . We are apparently
below the oak belt. The region is formed and the
flat valleys are either in corn or are bare except for
a cover of grass.
Hunted along stream (first one crossed after leaving
Ixtapan) just before it goes into deep gully. Veg:
few small junipers and mixed leguminous a broad-
leafed elements - similar to last place I hunted. Saw
goldfinch (aloud and), blue mockingbird, T. felix
song, canyon wren, cliff swallow nests
on cliff.
Took picture of Taxco Mts from not far down road from
Coatepec. There seem more or less continuous with
Toluca Mts, (#9)
Picture # 10 Looking S across Amayo which leads near
Coatepec in which I hunted.
Picture # 1 View of Tenancingo north of the town.
