Melozone kieneri
Aug 22 About 9 mi. e. of Cuernavaca, Morelos,
A presumed pair of this species
was observed performing a "pair-
duet"-type duet. The action
does not appear to differ materially
from the similar display of
the Brown Towhee group. Two
birds come together, either on
perches or on the ground, and
each admits a squealing series
of notes. No special postures
were observed during the per-
formance.
