April 12 tracks. In several old stream beds there are
Giant amates as the main stream bed meanders
through the area. Many cattle grazing. There
is very little understory beneath the amates and
the amate is the chief tree near the river - no
stands of small trees or greamehe.
Roll 16- #9-10 river bed = #9 habitat of a pair of
Chiafencis (which we shot), 10 show place where I
saw a lone nigicandulus. #11-12 show ruins
from new road to opening of valley - 11 where hill
approaches river, #12 a little more N.
Plants 41-50 are typical dry, low trees in the
2.6 mi. SE area and up to the town.
April 13 Skinned four birds in morning. In afternoon pocketed truck
and moved out to Study Area #1, 4.4 mi. NW Tonala'
where we camped for the night. S[illegible] cawls calling in
night.
April 14 The place where we found a nest of Chiafencis early
in our visit is located 1 mi. NW Tonala' in fairly
typical chiafensis-type country. The hedgerowwhere
Bonifacio and I worked several days ago is at 1.3 mi.
Study Area #1 on the Rio Tiltetpec is 4.4 mi. NW Tonala'.
At the Study Area we collected 7 humileis and 1 liug
Wren. In the night we attempted to capture the liig Wrens
which drove a nest in the study area - only a single
bird was in the nest at 10:00 P.M. - We then drove
on towards Arriaga. The good Tonala' vegetation
