July 21 contd.
Stopped 10 mi. S. of Hahuecan de Rio to record Lusty Sparrow songs. Recorded 2 different arising 0000 spaced about 50 yards apart. Heard 5-striped Sparrows - prob. 2- singing in densely vegetated arroyo below road. Not able to collect either.
5-stripe habitat
After climbing up to plateau above Barranca we went back to Guadalajara we stopped to prepare specimens.
In rocky, grassy, leguminous - tree + shrub hillside above road we heard Aimophila rufescens, A. refecienda, + A. rupestris. So here in Barranca de Obetor 4 species of Aimophilus occur + 3 occupy very similar habitat. Only the 5-stripe appears to have a distinct habitat preference.
