Guadalajara -> Tepic, Nayarit
June 19 calling in the tree. There work in toward the limbs
of the trees - not out on fine twigs - they seem again
again. Calls are almost same as jocinuos. They
have the deep "cortez wara" call as well as more
nasal-type notes. There is little doubt of the similarity
of note. Certainly there is no melodious song.
I cannot describe the notes as a "rattle" as does Pitelka,
hhowever.
We drove to Guadalajara, stayed in a motel where
I skinned 7 birds before going to bed at 12:00.
Crossed good bunneicofelles country before
arriving at Guadalajara. There is no pine - oak
veg. in the area - must be a good long break in
the habitat of gularis unless there is connection
S or N of the Guadalajara area. Fair cortez
wara (bunneicofelles) habitat in region of Zamora,
+ Lake Chapala - but it is probably not optimum.
June 20 up at 8 - skinned rest of birds and spent rest
of morning shopping for pottery. We then drove
to Tepic, Nayarit, crossing fair desert (cortez
wara habitat) and then descending from the
plateau thru a very long winding barranca
where there was good oid tropical climate,
note unlike that in Oaxaca. A few mangos &
dananas grown here. Finally climbed a bit
thru rather dry pine forest & entered valley of
Tepic. Stayed in hotel. In late afternoon we
