LL Wolf 1963 28 Journal July 13 relatively recently began to grow. Probably rains have not been here long. Returned to car & drove ~ 8 miles toward Mozotan to find good shade to shin under. By 0800 it is hot + humid + field work is a real chore, especially chasing 5-stripes thru the thorny vegetation. Unfortunately, there are no streams with water in which to take a bath. Stopped at Km 01 along river bottom. Here as at other camps the flies are terrible, but there is shade. Prepared specimens + had lunch. John twice went out to find Douglas Quail. 2nd time was successful. About 1700 I went out to collect a 5-stripe singing on hillside above us. Managed to get 4, including our first female. Prepared these birds, then drove back to Km 11/4 to have supper + pitch camps. As growing dark it became very cloudy & about [illegible] 2000 began raining. Raining when we went to bed, but not very hard. Hot + humid. July 14 20mi. E. Mozotan to Guaymas, Sonora. Up at 0515. After breakfast spent until 0915 up on hillside observing 5-stripes. Have found best way is to let them come to you so I actually have very few minutes of observation for time spent. Saw more foraging + a little pair behavior.
