August 7 Cuernavaca, Morelos, Mexico
Up at 0500 - rained hard during night. After breakfast drove W to
edge of town & took road to E toward Tepoztlan. Stopped in
woods around km.8. I spent morning until 1100 watching Ruby
Sparrrows while Dick collected. Spent most of time near road where
cattle have grazed some of vegetation down & it is easier to watch
birds. All birds watched were separated as pairs - except for one
group of three that must have included a young bird.
Clear & sunny all morning - clouded up in mid-afternoon.
Back to Cuernavaca where went to market & then to apartment.
Spent rest of day preparing birds.
Found nest of hummingbird (Violet-crowned ?) about 7 feet
up placed on 30° limb at junction of limb & leaf. Branch only
1/2-inch diameter. Nest completely covered with lichens & contained
2 eggs.
Had supper, wrote notes, & to bed.
