LL Wolf 1963 43 Journal July 26 Emi. SW La Huerta, Jalisco to 17 mi. NW Menzainillo, Colima Up at 0600. Rained more during night. After breakfast I went up hill to follow "finamon" call. As local farmers told us it was the Banded Quail. I flushed a corey of 15-20 from dense second growth woods. Some were in small openings on ground + others perched in trees. Spent until ~ 0800 observing Dimophila viridicauda. Then John + I tried to collect the group around camp. Not very successful. Chased some others + back to prepare specimens. Finished specimens + had lunch. Broke camp + took pictures of area. Much of area is being farmed in corn. Rest is second growth woods, very dense, approx. 10-20 feet tall with a few big trees along the stream. Legumes are common + acacias especially so along road. This seemed to be preferred locality of D. viricauda. Drove SW to coast + along coast to Mazuinillo. Saw Brown Boobies in harbor along with Brown Pelicans, Laughing Gulls + a large Tern. On toward Teerman. Stopped along dry Viva bed about 3 mile south of town. Collected a few. San Bles Jay from group of three. Mosquitos are terrible so we headed back to Mazuinillo + go NW along road we came in on. (17 1/2 miles NW) a road goes to ocean at Playa de Oro.
