Tonalá to Tres Picos, Chiapas, México
April 12 as hill comes to water's edge !! Dry and rocky hill
with nothing much more than the small dry palms.
Just around point plain broadens a little - getting
a few Totoposte & guaracaste , amatle , small
trees in cultivated area before town of
Mojarras . Much burning and clearing here .
Mangoes at Mojarras . Plain is less than 1 block
at Mojarras but nearly wide but beyond it
narrows a lot. I can see where there is habitat around
the houses for a few pairs of small wrens and maybe
the riparian vegetation is good habitat - it should
be, (Barifio says xela, primavera , lemonillos
on the plain northtown). Also guanacaste - much.
Plain narrows to a few yds beyond town about
1/2 mile - then we left hills behind. Stand of
palms just beyond narrow point - Big fan typha.
Totoposte - dry deciduous forest on hills - same
as around Texulla Tonalá
Fan palms , Totoposte on the flats - Big totoposte
trees . Palms growing in cleared areas. A forest
of fan palms - tall.
