Humilis - chiacensis
68
Rio Tiltipen
April 9 the ore by exposing ground and generally making a
more open situation but the ion guesses.
April 10 Took several photographs of hedgerow 1.3 mi. NW
Tonalá / Roll #13/ one of a chiacensis nest, another of the
road or hedgerow near the nest. Just after this I
took a photo of a small fox which Bonifacio shot.
Later in day I took 2 photos in the study area of
the chiacensis nest showing a humilis nest in the
background - and a shot of the humilis nest in a
full Bull-horn acacia. There are Nos. 9-10 on the
roll.
We hunted about 1 hour along a hedgerow 1.3
mi. NW Tonalá'. The row was formed of small trees
and vines with a few medium sized granocates,
I saw 6 chiacensis in approx one mile of it. Bonifacio
hunted on the mountain side of the road and saw
6 chiacensis, two of which he collected. The hedge-
row was about 12 feet - 15 feet wide along a ditch
which was dry. Neighboring fields were dry grass
with a few small trees widely spaced. Chiapain
centered about the ranch houses but I saw
them in the hedgerows far from ranches - ie. the
nest was not near a ranch. Apparently the vegetation
is so restricted in width that the birds require
considerable lengths of hedgerow for foraging.
