LW Wolf 1963 Journal June 23 Had breakfast just east of Phoenix. Went through Apache Junction and took 80-89 south to Tucson. Stopped at Tom Mix Well and looked around for 15 min. Continued on to several miles north of Oracle Junction. Walked for short distance thru sparse grassland - mostly Larrea. No A. calyptrio. Picked up young Curve-billed Thrasher dead on road about 10 miles north of Tucson. Arrived Tucson at 11:00. From Apache Junction to just north of Grace Junction vegetation is mostly mesquite, cholla, palo verde desert. Grass more prominent near Oracle Junction. Skirt west side of mts just north of Tucson. Spent rest of day in Tucson at 1634 Avenida de Sol at home of relatives of John P. Hubbard. John is going to accompany me on rest of trip. About 4:30 AM we went north on Wilson Road and continued out Tanque Verde Road to Mt. Lemmon Rd. Drove up to Upper Molino Basin and hiked for 1+ hours. Area is rocky, grassy hillsides with oaks along stream bed. Aimophila ruficeps seemed to be in pairs. Heard several birds singing. Song very similar to the Common Bulbul song. No young were observed. Pairs were spaced out on the hillsides and seemed to be in the most rocky area. (See species list). On up road to General Hitchcock picnic area.

June 25 - while I was sitting down watching the thrushen saw pair of billed flycatchers - at least one bird foraging on ground like Yellow-shaft. Found several empty Verdin nests + a grass tall (actus) when nest. Verdins watched feeding fled grown young out of nest. John spent much of morning trying to record Aimophila carpalis vocalization. He had some luck, but was not able to record all song types we have heard. Also much surrounding noise + winds produced some noise on tape. John collected six birds + we drove back to llow, of Arizona to prepare the specimens. Had lunch with P.T. Gould + two visitors from Los Angeles - one a Dr.? Green. They are touring high spots of Arizona looking for exciting birds. At 1530 John + I went 15 mi. NE of Tucson up the Mt. Lemmon road to Molino Basin. John collected while I tried, unsuccessfully, to record Aimophila carpalis songs. Area here - oak along stream + scattered up rocky, grassy slopes.

June 26 - Tucson, Pima Co., Arizona to east of Camel, Arizona. arrived at Wilmot Rd. locality at 0845. Set up the net + spent rest of morning until 0915 trying to catch + color-band Aimophila carpalis. Managed to catch 2 + hed one other tounge off net. Also cought a very [illegible] Lucy Warbler + Curve-billed Thrasher. Returned to Tucson, bought groceries preparatory to leaving later this afternoon for SE part of Arizona + adjacent New Mexico. Shiny Rufous-wing Sparrows The only other species that regularly forage on the ground in this area are Brown Towhees, Gilded Flicker, Curve-billed Thrasher + probably the Cardinals. I would guess that the only species using same food source would be the Brown Towhee. Mesquite is favorite foraging spot for Lucy Warbler, Verdin, Black-tailed Gnatcatcher, Hooded Oriole (down low).

LLWOLF 1963 Journal. June 29 from Cave Creek Canyon to Portal is 5 miles by road. up at 0500. broke camp & had breakfast left [illegible] area at 0545. Mileage 39548.6. Rustler Park to Portal is 16 miles by road. Turned north east of Portal on R.80. Drove to sign pointing to left saying "Cienega Lake" Can see tall trees in distance. Drive back in on this road to fork. Take left fork which ends 150 ft. further at New Mexico Game & Fish area. Walk around this small pond & look for Mexican Duck, Yellowthroats, etc. Scarceness fule areas. Pond is covered in spots with green algae. Area between R.80 & Lake is mesquite - creosote, cypress desert. Hunted this area for 2+ hours. Lucy Warbler is very common. Young are essentially independent, but birds are traveling in groups of 3-8, probably family groups. Cactus Wrens are abundant & I found 1 nest containing 5 young. Young had feathers showing on most parts & most were just emerging from shelter. Young Bell Vireos were begging, but appeared independent. Shot juvenile Crissal Thrasher which apparently was alone. Flushed a Morning Dove from alot tree. As 2nd adult flew out it "fell" to ground & flopped along in injury feigning display. 1 large young were sitting on nest and flew off as I approached.

U.S.A. 1963 Journal June 30 Encountered pairs of Cassin Kingbirds about every 100-200 yards - generally in sycamores + on dead, exposed perches. Ash-throated Flycatchers less common + tend to be along edge of riparian + mesquite hillside. Olivaceous Flycatchers generally in pairs - once saw 3 together. Occur in sycamores to other riparian vegetation. Do occur in edge of mesquite. Hooded Orioles spaced, in pairs along canyon. This canyon area has sycamore, juniper, oaks along dry stream bed. On hills above stream is mesquite cactus, Yucca, agave, passers Canyon Wrens + Rufous-crowned Sparrows are calling from hillsides. Rufous-Crowns do come down to canyon floor to forage. Hummingbirds are common, but difficult to identify. They are generally in + around taller trees along stream bed. Returned to camp at 0900 + prepared specimens until 1230. Then wrote notes. By 0830 the birds are very quiet + observing or collecting becomes a matter of chance. At 1330 packed up + drove back to fork in road with sign pointing to Clovisdale. Take this road + cross pass, continue 3-5 miles + just before stream crosses road can turn off to camping area. Cienita Canyon. Arrived at 1520 after losing tailpipe along road.

LLWOF 1963. Journal June 30 - This new area is a pine-oak woodland - one of J.T. Marshall's localities for his Birds of Pine-Oak Woodland. Had supper set up camp. At dusk went out for night birds - Loo-weels are common on slopes above the camp. At least one Screech Owl was calling + 2 Elf Owls. Heard sound - rather like jay squall - which right before in Guadalupe Canyon we traced to a young Elf Owl in the nest. July 1 Clanton Canyon, New Mexico up at 0578. Had good breakfast for a change + in field by 0600. Heard Rufous-crowned Sparrow singing + collected 4 @. Found pair of Zone-tailed Hawks calling excitedly just east of camp. John later shot one of these birds. They acted as if nest or young in area. Working up slope of grass, rocks, Yucca, agave, oaks, pine, juniper + manzanita found families (3-6 birds) of Bewick Wrens scattered over terrain. Estimate of 50 - 100 yards average between family bands. Always in areas where some oaks, but they may be scattered. Flock of Bush-tits in oak, juniper woods along stream bed. Estimate 70+ birds. Shot three - two too badly to save. Two had brown eyes - both @.@ + one had light eye- adult female. Scattered pairs of Bridled Titmouse.

14 LeWolt 1963 Journal July 1 - Heard tapping of woodpecker on dead tree. When located was an adult Acorn Woodpecker with head sticking out of hole in dead pine. Mouth open & panting as I approached. Stayed in nest until I was 55 feet away. Contents of nest unknown. Saw Ash-throated Flycatcher flying in direct line down canyon with food in bill. Heard young calling. Found, at least 2, well-feathered young in hole in oak. Hole was 30 inches above ground & ~ 3" in diameter. Sides of nest hole inside were plastered with fecal material. Returned to car at 0945. Put specimens until 1100. John still has several to do so I pack car & write notes. Plan to go to Gray Ranch today to see if there are any accessible canyons in Animas Mts. Then to Animas, N.M. for gas + water. Continued on to Lordsburg after John decided not to try to go around the east side of Animas Mts. Had tailpipe put back on - $8.51 - then had supper. Drove out 70-90 from Lordsburg. Took road to Duran & then turn off to Red Rock. After reaching Red Rock continue on gravel road. Take left fork past post office - Forked around with Baptist Church sign & continue to Bridge. Just across Bridge are two "roads" to left. Take either for good camping spots.

LL Wolf 1963 Journal July 2 Red Lodge, Grant Co., to Silver City, Grant Co., New Mexico Up at 0515 after night of high winds that tried their best to blow tent over. Had breakfast & then into field. Walked thru arrowweed, cottonwoods (Populus fremontii), to a species of Salix along banks of Colo River. Common birds are: Bewick Wren, Cardinal, Abert Towhee, House Finche, Lesser Goldfinch. Most are ubiquitous throughout habitat. Towhees leave young on the wing & apparently independent, at tho still in family groups. Two ♀♀ collected both had recently ripened follicles - second nestings. A cowbird ♀ had an egg in the oviduct & at least 2 ruptured follicles. Not possible to determine if bred earlier or not. Collected this ♀ from a group of 4 - 2 cock + 2 ♀♀. Seemed to be foraging (or drinking) at edge of river as two pairs. Robins were singing in riparian vegetation. Cardinals, Yellow-billed Cuckoo both singing. Seems to be late breeding here in comparison to some areas we have visited. Shucked & skeletonized specimens. Had level r packed car. Headed for Silver City. Arrived & drove past New Mexico Western University. Drove up to Dale Zimmerman's house where the Leonard Oakleys are staying while Dale is in Africa. Plan to stay here a day or two.

Rufous-crowned Sparrows, Black-chinned Sparrows + Rufous-sided Towhees were common & singing. Virginia Warblers appeared in pairs while Bush-tits were in flocks. These species were all on the mixed ceanothus, juniper, oak hillside. Solitary Vireos were singing occasionally from the conifer groves. I tried to record Rufous-crowns about 0800. Except for occasional bouts of 2 or 3 songs they were completely quiet. After John returned to car with his birds we drove 2-3 miles farther & found 2 or 4 singing Rufous-crowns. I recorded two of them - one from each side of road. Meanwhile John found a Bush-tit flock & tried to secure another black-eared form like one he had taken earlier in the morning. This area was more open grassy hillside with scattered oaks + junipers. One mile further along the road we stopped in an overgrazed area with 35-50% cover of bear grass & junipers + oaks.

Observer here says he can see Douglas, Arizona on clear days + saw fire in Santa Catalina - 105 miles away. Graham Mts. rise up abruptly and have broad valleys on either east + west sides. Area where camping tonight is mostly fir forest with some spruce (Picea pungens), Acer glabrum, Populus tremuloides. They appear to be logging out some bigger trees. Open areas have nice grass layers. Campground has running water even now at the end of dry season. This is first park we have hit to have running water. July 9 Graham Mts. to Tucson, Arizona. Up at 0530. Collected around Shannon Forest Camp until 0830. Troglodytes are common in groups of 5+ especially in brush piles left by recent logging operations.

Bought gas + prepared to cross border. First stop right at border is to obtain tourist cards only. Drive 4 miles south of town to Advance for baggage inspection + car permit. For $1.00 each the boss & flukey were going to let us go through unchecked until we mentioned having shotguns. They sent us back down the road about ½ mile to be lowered thru-off. Up road to top of hill to army barracks, see general. Found we need 4 photographs each so back to Nogales. While there check at consulate in Arizona where lady tells us we need letters from Dept. of War to bring in guns. After getting photos back to car general who fixes us up with permits for nothing - usually is $6 in consulate. Finished at border by 1230. Start down highway & stop in oak parkland for lunch (Quercus emoryi). Soon vegetation becomes mesquite woodland to open mesquite. There are some areas of irrigation where crops are grown.

Birds occur in pairs & are spaced out on territories. Very interesting to note rufalos occurring where the only vegetation is shrubs - there is no herbaceous layer at all - in marked contrast to Wilmut Rd locality in Tucson. Birds seem to be as dense or denser here than at Tucson. To bed at 0840. July 12 18 mi. SE Oasis to 20 mi. E Mojatam, Sonora 40676.0 21 Oasis - 40694. Up at 0500. Had breakfast & into field.

After breakfast I went up into small gully above camp + watched (or tried to) Ampelito quinquenota foraging. Saw 2 periods of foraging. Near where I was watching a Common Ground Dove was feeding 2 partly feathered young. Nest, mostly of grass stems, was on nearly horizontal limb where branch had broken off. Adult would fly down to ground in sauce (10' diameter) bare patch(of shrub layer) then returns to nest 30 feet away. Approach nest by landing on limb above nest + walking to nest. Always seemed to squat down while on nest. Left at 0830 to try to collect some 5-stripes in areas away from this "study" area. Over song around the 600's an easy to find - usually on exposed perches in vegetation taller than general canopy. No ?'s were encountered. Varied Bunting, Blue Grosbeak, & Broad-billed Humming are common on the hillsides. Vegetation on hillsides often forms a closed canopy at 7-10 feet. Most of these trees are legumes. A few trees (white bark) project 30-40 feet up + stand as emergents. Understory is mostly young trees + an herb layer. Herb layer looks to be 5-stripes habitat.

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.

Guaymas in dense legume, cactus, totimo species thorn scrub hoping to find Rufous- winged Sparrows - no luck. All common avian associates were present (see species list) but Rufous-wings were not. I would guess that understory is too dense, not leaving enough bare, open ground to be good for Rufous-wings. Next stopped at Pitahaya - a locality where Dr Pitilka collected Rufous-wings. Area looks good but we heard some singing in lots of minutes. It was about 1200 (at these birds sing even in heat of day. Continued thru Ciudad Obregon - bought gas - south toward Sinaloa border.

Remained cloudy all morning + looked like rain as we left about 1230. Spent early morning observing Botteri Sparrows. Mostly one bird - singing & breeding seems to be just starting here. Then tried to collect Botteri Sparrows + various other species. Found a foraging family group of Basileuterus rufifrons - at least two young. Collected an adult + two young. They were foraging in 10+ foot trees spaced as if in an orchard - very sparse herb layer. Sinclair Ware also here. Ground-chats were relatively common in fields, generally at edge in brush. I heard song sounding like a Yellow-throat which I attribute to this species. Saw several flight song performances by Ground-chats. -> in this fashion with song starting before push + ending before reaching new perch. Broke camp + headed for Tepic. Tried to find Aimophila ruficauda in cultivated land around Tepic. Saw only one bird & was not able to collect it. This was on pastureland along a stone fence. Also Botteri Sparrows there.

John said he approached to 15-20 feet to one singing ♂. Down in stream below there are more paths thru vegetation making the approach easier & quieter. Obtained only the one few specimen. Also occurring here apparently in more open areas in scrub oak is Aimophila ruficeps. They are apparently absent from denser scrub oak which is habitat of A. notosticta + A. mysticalis. Began raining about 10:15 so returned to Oaxaca city with only 4 specimens. Spent afternoon preparing specimens + doing odd jobs around Oaxaca. Wrote notes + to bed.

LLW015 1963 Journal August 10 Oaxaca, Oaxaca, Mexico Up at 0430. Drove to locale 4mi. sw. Matatlan. Heard first Amphilus mysticus sing at 0575. Followed within a minute by A. refecips + then A. notosticta. Morning was generally cool + damp. Was sprinkling as we ate breakfast. Low clouds moved thru area during most of morning + there was a stiff breeze which made recording very difficult. John spent until about 0930 trying to record Amphilus notosticta. Finally did get some good recordings of one bird + others of another. Later I collected a s[illegible] from each location when he had recorded so these are probably the same birds as on the tape. I spent early morning trying to find A. mysticus to draw. Not successful. Philogonys + Tanagra aurica were feeding on mistletoe berries on shrubs on hillside. Philogonys were very abundant + noisy. Lucifer Hummingbirds are fairly common here so are Be[illegible] Hummingbirds. Returned to Oaxaca ~ 1200 - just missed hitting a burro on road near El Tule. Spent afternoon preparing specimens. Wrapped + packed one + 1/2 trays of birds for trip back. Raining at 1700 + 2030. Dr. Charles Bogert of American Museum of Natural History told us this was an unusually wet summer. Wrote notes + finished preparing to leave in the morning.

At km. 608 - 11 miles SW Matatlan, parked car along road + climbed up hill sides hunting for Amazilia mysticae. Collected 9 including one juvenile. Found pair of Golden Vireos caring for at least one fledgling. Three + mysticae were on srier parts of hills except Vireos tended to be in lushor vegetation along stream beds. Green-fronted Hummingbirds were fairly common in the thorn forest vegetation. Drove on to km. 616 where road leads off to west into little valley along Pan Amer Hwy. Area is flat + grassy with thorn forest crepetation Except that it is fairly near road it is a good camping spot. Had lunch + prepared specimens. Back into field to find Bridled Sparrows to observe. Except for occasional bouts of singing from individual & the birds are very quiet + difficult to find. Had supper, wrote notes, + to bed. Was clouding up + looked like rain. August 12 Km. 616 on Pan Am Hwy. S. of Oaxaca, Oaxaca (w/n SW Matatlan) temp. 89 - 63°. cloudy all morning. Sun appeared about 1300 + out rest of day.

Obtained songs of two different σσ, but could not get good recordings of their pair chatter. While John went out collecting - I tried to find birds (Bridled Sparrows) to watch. Found a pair with one, presumably the ?, pulling + carrying nest material. During four hours of trying to observe, did not see any foraging behavior + was unable to find nest. Habitat is just too dense in herb + shrub layers to watch the birds. Prepared four Bridled Sparrows John collected, had lunch + went back into field. Sat for 1½ hours in spot where watched Bridled Sparrows in morning. Heard occasional tzeet notes but never saw birds until I 'sclussed' one up. Then I missed my shot. Found family groups of White-crested bantcatchers in the thorn forest (or tropical deciduous) vegetation. Young were full grown, but still with adults. Collected an adult σσ + a juv. ?. Prepared these + back into field again until 1645. Then wrote notes + prepared supper. About 1845, Bridled Sparrows on hillside had brief song period + heard several pairs chattering. Then were silent.

L.L. Wolf 1963 Journal August 13- 11 mi. s.w. Matatlan to Tehuantepec, Oaxaca Up at 0545. Tried to record songs before breakfast with no luck. After breakfast packed car & started driving toward Tehuantepec looking for areas to collect Bridled Sparrows. Vegetation became more xeric & the herb layer less dense. For a few miles I though Bridled Sparrows might drop out because of xeric conditions. Then found hillsides above stream had pairs scattered across. Worked up hillside & around hill to Pan Am Hwy so it circled around 7 up. Obtained 9 Bridled Sparrows + 1 Rufous-napped Wren. Drove 5 miles down road & found less precipitous areas to collect. John obtained a fledgling & I found what may be a nest of Bridled Sparrows. Continued on toward Tehuantepec. S. of El Camaron road winds thru pine rock before dropping down into thorn forest. Found Seminchest Sparrows just south of El Boguero. From calls Bridled Sparrows + Seminchest Sparrows overlay ranges about 20 miles - probably more. Arrived in Tehuantepec to find it hot & dry. Fellows in Hotel Tehuantepec said last rain was 5 days ago. Had supper wrote notes & to bed.

LL Wolf 1963 Journal August 14 Tlaxantepex Oaxaca Mexico Up at 0530. Drove to 3 miles east of town on Pan Am Hwy. Pulled off to side of road + spent rest of morning in thorn forest vegetation. Then appear to be 4 distinct layers (as there were at 11 mi. SW Matatlan) of vegetation. An emergent layer which is represented by scattered trees. The tree layer canopy which is essentially closed is formed mostly of figures. Below this an small trees + shrubs. Then the herb layer. During the dry season I think this layer is very sparse, but now it is 2-3 feet tall + very dense. Makes it nearly impossible to watch activities of birds on or near the ground. Except for few trees (apparently of one species) all woody vegetation is foliated at this time of year. Semichesti habitat Spent early morning trying to record & determine uses of vocalizations of Semichestat Sparrows. Then spent until 0700 trying to follow birds Semichestat Sp. for observing. Not much luck. By 0730 the wind has become fairly strong + the sun is hot. Most vocal activity has ceased + the birds are difficult to follow in dense vegetation. From 0900 to 1000 collected to supplement material John had gotten. Found family group of 4-6 Tropical Mockingbirds. Apparently both Laturns

John tried to record Aimophila ruficauda, but could only get chatter + call notes. Very sporadic singing. Tried to collect ruficauda here, but this family group is all we could find. Apparently vegetation too dense as A. semichrasti was common. Drove several hundred yards further + parked in area where Thorn forest has been removed + Acacias + other legumes have come in. Vegetation in this field is much more sparse + walking is easy as tree branches from adjacent legumes do not meet. This seems to be preferred habitat of A.ruficauda + they are spaced out in pairs throughout the area. Spent until 0900 collecting here. Found 2 nests of Groove-billed Ani - one with eggs + one with young with feathers just emerging. One nest of Rufous-napped Whin with 4eggs. Flushed a nightjar - probably Caprimulgus ridgwayi - but was unable to collect it. Back to Hotel where prepared specimens rest of day. Wrote notes, had supply + a bed.

Especially Vesper-Brewers, flocking together. The Rufous-winged Sparrows seemed still to form intraspecific flocks. The two individuals encountered in mixed flocks may have been there fortuitously and was chasing the flock.

When closely followed the flock would move up onto the hillsides but more commonly stayed near the stream bottom. At several points A. ruficeps pairs - meaning two birds - joined the flock. Collected 3 A. ruficeps, 1 Spizula atricapilla, + 1 Zonotrichia leucophrys.

HL Wolf 1963 Journal Dec. 19 Followed the flock for about 1/2 mile along the stream then left it. Back to Tucson to prepare specimens. Also measured skeletons of Aimsophila + Playaspsiza in collection here. Dec. 20 Tucson, Pima Co., Arizona Up at 0615. Stopped for breakfast on way to Molino Basin. Starting to get light while we ate. Turned to right down to stream where road goes off to Molino Basin Picnic Ground. Walked along streamside then uphill. Flocks of Robins + Arizona Jay flying between trees on hillside. Robins also into Mangarita - not seen to feed. Found group of 4-5 Rufous-crowned Sparrows among rocky outcrop on grassy - scattered Evergy Oak - hillside. These birds seemed to be associated in a group and may have been a family group - took 2 first year birds + 1 adult. Once flushed one bird which flew downhill to another rock outcrop. A second bird slightly further downhill then flew downhill to join 1st bird at the outcrop. There may have been a pair as the bird collected was an adult & which had gone thru a breeding season - tell by condition of ovary.

[illegible] [illegible] [illegible] Tired, I am, and so the work is done. It is all the more difficult to see what we have accomplished, when it seems so little has been done. But if we look back at our own past achievements, we will find that they were not always easy. There were times when we felt like giving up entirely, but somehow we kept going. And now here is another chance for us to try again. We may not succeed this time either, but at least we can say we tried our best. So let us begin anew, with fresh hope and renewed determination.

LLWoff 1963 Journal Dec. 20 Our interesting item is the occurrence of at least six species of Picidae within 500 yards of each other (see species lists). The species seemed to be sharing foraging sites to a great extent - this would be interesting to study from an ecological view. Again flock of Chipping Sparrows with small numbers of Black-chinned Sparrows, Ruby-crowned Kinglets + Oregon Juncos moved through oaks & on ground. Drove back to Tabino Canyon to help Dick Root record Polioptila. Found both melanura + caerulea foraging together with no inter-specific aggression. Both species were apparently paired. Once heard series of melanura calls & saw two individuals in the 10 foot Palo Verde. From actions - partly hidden by branches - it appeared to Root & I that there was an attempted or successful mounting of one by the other. Noted that melanura forages from ground to tops of 10-20 foot Palo Verdes. Also in Fraxinus. Seemed to spend more time on ground than did caerulea, although caerulea did forage on ground. Caerulea tended to call at irregular intervals generally one or only a few calls during one bout.

Returned to Tucson + pyg and specimens; Dec. 21 Tucson Arizona to Alameda, California. Spent morning along Santa Cruz River in San Xavier Indian Reservation to south of Tucson. Flocks of sparrows, mostly White-crowned, were throughout the mesquite areas. Desert Sparrows + Brewer's Sparrows seen at edge of mesquite + cholla areas. Here much less brush cover, especially grass + habitat much more open. Saw one Ash-throated Flycatcher (heard) in some large Poplars along river. At a vertical cut bank which had exposed roots in the bare side we watched a Rock Wren + Canyon Wren foraging. Both seem to forage in about the same manner, but Canyon Wren perhaps spends more time in root tangles + Rock Wren more time on open, bare ground. Canyon Wren giving call note at irregular, but frequent intervals. Rock Wren silent during most of one hour observation. Did not seem that either bird was reacting to presence of other except when foraging paths came close. Once Canyon Wren supplantated the Rock Wren

Collected a Pine Warbler just after it flew up from ground to where it flew closing a bag it had dislodged in foraging thru weed & clumps at end of June. Found Dick & we walked together toward a swampy woods. I heard a Hooded Warbler while he tried to get a Tricolor (Tufted). Then back to car seeing several Avocados ahead of us. Chased one down or hole. They can move amazingly fast (faster than we could run) thru woods. Back to camp at 1630. Went for short swim. I then prepared birds (3) while Dick made supper. After supper write notes & then to bed at 2000. June 18 Boykin Springs (Angelina Natl. Forest), Jasper Co., Texas Up at 0530. After quick breakfast drove to 1/4 mi. S of Springs to road going off to west. I walked into woods to look for Pine-woods Sparrows while Dick continued on down road to collect. Not until 0630 did a Sparrow finally begin singing. Chased them around for about 2 hours. Finally saw & but there lost her immediately as I was still trying to get recordings of the song - Located pair together & female seemed to be carrying food. Dropped into grass. After seeing her with food again tried to find nest - un successful. While looking she came in a third time. Neither of the last two times did she go to the nest.

Then back to 3 miles S. of camp where road goes off to E. Mostly open pine woods but in damp places deciduous trees - especially oaks & sycamores - become most common. Spent 3/4 hour in deciduous growth where I collected 2 Red-eyed Vireos + a Red-bellied Woodpecker. Also "scurried" in Tufted Titmouse, Chickadee, Bewick's Wren, Louisted Flycatcher, Cardinal Downey Woodpecker. Back to camp + went swimming for about 10 minutes & got more water.

Spent until 1045 in this area hoping to get feeding rate data. Birds very wary & approached nest on ground. Could judge when young were fed only by begging notes of young. Both parents fed. Back to camp for lunch + to prepare birds. Maintenance man for campground cameby + told us that the elevation was ~2500 feet. Also that longleaf pines were planted by government during 1930's.

Then went over to open pine - clad hillside to watch at nest with four young. Dick going back to other open pine areas to try to collect Pine-woods Sparrows. Spent until 1045 here with only short break when Dick came to report that he lost camp in mad dash after a Red-cockaded Woodpecker. While he went back to successfully hunt for that I stayed on to obtain more data on feeding rates. Birds seemed still disturbed by my presence, but not nearly as yesterday. Today's rates are probably much closer to normal. On way back to camp stopped several times to play tape recorder & try to lure male aestivalis in. Were successful twice but only managed to collect one. Also saw another 2-plumaged Red-cockaded Woodpecker near top of 75 foot pine. One of A. aestivalis collected probably has a territory adjacent to pair with nest + 1 egg - making 4 pair + may account for some of singing to N of territory which I attributed to O# (being a long way off. Hard to tell for sure. Back out at 1530 to collect more aestivalis. Recorder ran out of power after we had one on. Went to nest with young. Collected 2 #4 + 3 of the young. Probably killed the # - other young escaped. Back to camp for short swim, prepared specimens, had supper, finished notes & prepared to leave for south Texas in the morning.

Went down to lake & took a bath. Drove out via Pine-woods Sparrow nest to check #umber size eggs, P incubating. General area summary: Sandy soil, rolling country with no large hills. Mostly long leaf pines - few scotch pine type with scattered deciduous trees - oaks, sycamores, Up sums that gives years of fire protection that the country will be in deciduous forest. We noted mostly deciduous forests with scattered pines in drives three northern end of Big Thicket area as went SW from Jasper. Took 63 to Jasper where turned to S to Livingston.

But raining cut cars on highway kept us awake. Finally up at 0600. Had good breakfast while Dick collected three birds. Then both back into field. I spent until 0915 chasing Cassin's Sparrows thru open mesquite, hackberry grassland. Some were up in flight songs. Also full grown juveniles. Then until 1200 preparing specimens. Had lunch & drove back into Sinton. Passed Welder Wildlife Foundation entrance on way into town. Gate locked. Called to office of Foundation from town & they had someone meet us at gate. Dr. Cameron Cotton, the director, spent most of the afternoon showing us around much of the 7800 acres. They have tagging programs on deer + turkeys with many marked individuals. Had a terrific rainstorm as we came into area - 1.17 inches recorded at Headquarters building. Dr. Cotton said the area has had little rain in past three years - all the "permanent" lakes on the property are essentially dry. Saw many areas that looked favorable for Cassin's Sparrows. Heard many singing birds. They seem to range from low mesquite in open country to rather dense 20-25 foot mesquite areas. Dr. Cotton says they occur in some very sense stuff. Also apparently small numbers winter here, but most migrate out.

Had supper & met several people working here - Dr. Wm. Thompson, Bob Larkins, Eric Bolen. Spent a short time in the library checking literature, then I went to bed. June 26 Welder Wildlife Foundation, San Patricio Co., Texas Up at 0500. After breakfast Dick drove me down to near Lagoa to Windmere where I spent until 1030 trying to record & observe Cassin's Sparrows (sec 40, lots 2 & 6). The area is open mesquite grassland with mesquite up to 10-12 feet tall but average of tall plants in 6-8 feet. Many clumps of mesquite only 1-2 feet tall, perhaps kept down by grazing. Also Opuntia cactus & a stem-branched cactus. Grasses go up to 12-15" tall around mesquite clumps & cobias where protected from grazing by deer & cattle. Other 6-8" tall & rather sparse. Distance between taller mesquites ~ X = 20-30%. This makes it an open, low-cover area really ideal for watching these birds, especially since they have a flight song. Hard to follow individuals as they do not allow close approach. Did spend several hours watching pair feeding young with ~ 3/4 groundfail. Unable to get many recordings as birds do not allow close approach & wind becomes too strong for recording by 0730.

LLWOF 1964 Journal June 26 Welder Wildlife Foundation, San Patricio Co., Texas Dick drove back to area where we collected yesterday to try to get some specimens. Then he drove into town to buy groceries. Back to pick me up at 0845, I decided to stay longer & walked by each. Back by 1145. He had already started to prepare specimens so we worked until 1300. Had lunch & back to finish skinning. Then I went back to watch sparrows (15:30) while Dick washed clothes & made supper. I worked on # across road (lot-2) from where worked in morning. Got a little more confused + some advance on understanding. Part of difficulty probably lie in the presence of full grown young still with the adults. Hard to (impossible) recognize these individuals in the field, so some noted behavior may be between young + adult. Wrote notes until 1830 when redcapper: Dia didn't finished notes & to bed at 2030.

Early morning was quiet except for myriads of Drosophila-like flies that crawl all over birds eyes, nose, ears, & mouth. After I shot a bird which bled considerably I noted several of them flies gorging on the blood. Collected Cassin family groups several lone 5's in early morning. By 0730 it was beginning to get warm & found several family groups of Cassin's Sparrows. Hard to collect adults from these groups. Dick arrived to say that group were gone so he was going to another area to look for Cuckoo nests & to collect lizards. After 0800 I had difficulty locating groups of sparrows - even more trouble hitting any. About 1000 found mixed group of Vermios, Desert Sparrows, Bewick Wrens, & Painted Buntings. Managed to get a worm bunting. Probably partly tributous group some members attracted to alarm calls. 5's Cassin Sparrows singing still singing as we left area at 1015.

LL Wolf 1964 29 Journal July 6 Walter Wildlife Foundation, San Patricio Co., to Laguna Atascosa Refuge, Cameron Co., Texas. 57783.0 - left Walter Foundation at 0830. Drove into Sinton where tried to get Dick's watch at repair shop - not finished yet so he will have it sent to Brownsville. Continued on + went into Corpus Christi + picked up shotgun at the repair shop. Then back out to U.S. 77 + drove south thru farming country. Bought gas in Kingsville then S again this time thm mequite dominates grasslands. Much hay been overgrown + saw one field almost completely overgrown with Prickly Pear (Opuntia). Noted stretch of road with sand ridges on east side. Some were clear sand + probably moving. Again around Harlingen farming takes over much of the land. Drove into Harlingen + picked up mail - then S to Brownsville where got mail + ammunition from MVZ. Then back north for 17 miles to San Benito. Took road 345 to NE until reach road 106. Once on this road go straight - several places where crossroads, ignore the dead end road sign + continue on. Road curves to right but is marked as going to Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Headquarters. This is where I wander live but there is an office in the Post Office bldg. in San Benito. Good idea to stop thru and inquire before going out to Refuge. Met Richard Rigby + George Unland the 2 wardens. Can camp on refuge. Unland is apparently a birder that has been here 6t years so knows locales for most of birds. Says Botheri + Cassini's Sparrows occur together here. Tomorrow will tell.

Followed road out to shore of Laguna Madre & drove the 2 miles along the shore. Found many Cassin Sparrows & a few Botteri (see species acct's). Then turned inland & back to surfaced road just N of Naval Auxiliary landing field. Then back to entrance. Route included areas of mesquite grassland, prickly pear + hackberry + scattered huisache + mesquite. Mesquite grassland 2 types - one with tall mesquite + non-bunch grass; the other with smaller trees + short bunch grass - prob. a salt grass. The Cassin Sparrows in more exotic prickly pear - hackberry & out into salt grass + mesquite. The Botteri Sparrows seemed limited to bunch grass-mesquite habitat. Then took lakeside tour around Laguna Atascosa. Found one colony of 6-8 pairs of Botteri where road comes closest to Laguna ~ 2 miles W of Refuge headquarters. Had heard several scattered odd just before this. Spent 20-25 minutes here recording & observing. Birds along here were also in bunch grass - short mesquite association. Drove on out to Rio Hondo East Road & crossed Upper Cayo Atascosa then thru gate just W of Cayo & back in along road beside Laguna + various ponds. Found Botteri in two places near gate - 60th times in habitat observations of migratory species of birds

LL WOLF 1964 Journal July 18 Cuernavaca, Morelos, Mexico Up at 0500. After breakfast had to get some poor fellows out of bed to move his car so we could get out. Arrived in Cañon de Lobos at 0600. Already light, but last of bats still flying. Dick plans to hunt west hillside + canyon bottom in South, drier - end of canyon. Also where crocods have been made for cornfields. I walk down toward where Aimogula ruficanda nest is located. Find pair just N of them on other side of road. Surrounded by pairs of A. humeralis, but no apparent conflict (though saw two species within 10-15 feet). Watched these birds for short time + tried to find nest - no luck. Then down to watch ruficanda nest near side of road. Birds would not go to nest in 2 hours I watched so light to keep young from starving or cooking. Spent rest of morning to 1100 watching A. ruficanda + humeralis when could find either. Have pair of humeralis located in 100 % tree canopy area. Act like maybe have nest or young nearby. Saw cover of 5+ Barred Owl (Phalotus fuscatus), 2 Graceful Gold Anis flew across canyon from E to W + 2 groups of Boat-tailed Grackles (6-8) flew over going N following canyon. Dick collected 11 birds including 2 sub-adult young A. humeralis. I weighed young A. ruficanda + then back to apartment. Spent afternoon preparing birds + trying to identify some dominant tree + shrub species from dry end (S) of canyon. Met with little success. Had supper, wrote notes, + to bed at 2030.

LL Wolf 1964 Journal July 28 Cuernavaca, Morelos, Mexico Up at 0500. Had breakfast + drove out to Cañon de Lobos as it was getting light. Tried to shoot bats in early morning. Went down to edge of cornfield near Ainspiza vulcanica + A. humeralis nests. Spent most of morning watching 4-5 pair of A. ruficauda. Seems to be three birds associated with nest. Otherwise other 4 pairs are only 2 birds. Worked especially on sequences + apparent situations in which chatter duets occurred. Up to 0800 birds are very vocal + spend most of time up in exposed positions calling. Then activity becomes more quiet as birds begin to spend more time foraging. Pair (2) with Nest + young seemed to spend much less time duetting than other pairs. Have been able to find no evidence of brooding by other pairs. Did worked on west hillside - dry + partly wet over. Collected an Amaurospiza concolor. Said a ? was with 8 collected. Obtained 9 birds, five lizards, + a rabbit - cost for supper. Back to apartment when prepared birds. Had car greased + oil changed in afternoon.

LL Wolf 1964 Journal August 6 Cuernavaca, Morelos, Mexico Up at 0530. After breakfast drove north on R. 95- like toward Mexico City. Stopped at km 60 in cut-over pine-oak woodland. Looked for Rusty Sparrows with no luck. The shrub layer is nearly continuous (may be too dense for Rustys). Possibly excluded by Pipilo erythrophthalmus +1 or Atlapetes - the Pipilo is extremely abundant. Left at 0830+ drove back toward Cuernavaca to km 64 when we camped last year. This area is 700+ ft. lower & much more open. Found at least three singing Rusty Sparrows, but unable to follow any for any time. Drove back to km 60 at 1030. Watched mixed flock of birds moving thru oaks + Arbutus sp. Composed of Black-created Brushfinch as nucleus, with Mexican Chickadees, Olive + Red Warblers, Hairy Woodpecker, + two woodcamps. Also seemed to be some flycatchers - Mitrephanes phaeocercus + Contopus pertinax associated. Moved on uphill + found another flock- moving thru low oaks + shrubs. - Again Coelopterus melanoctis was the major species by number. Also Bell's Warbler, Hairy Woodpecker, Brown-throated Hawk (2), Olive Warbler (2), Red Warbler (3+), Rufous-sided Towhee (2), + Hutton Vireo (2). Dick returned to car at 1420 + we drove back to Cuernavaca where spent rest of day preparing specimens. The pine-oak forest at km 60 has been cut more since last August + there were piles of freshly cut wood + the sounds of more cutting during the morning. In places the shrub layer is dense providing habitat for Pipilo, 2 species of Atlapetes (galeatus + virenticeps) + Toxicostoma ocellatum. But it won't be too long before the larger pines + oaks are gone.

Then remained cloudy until 1030 then sun came out for about 45 min. Then cloudy again until I left. Spent rest of day preparing specimens. Wrote notes, had supper, & to bed at 2030. August 9 Cuernavaca, Morelos, Mexico Up at 0500. After breakfast Dick drove me out to 5 mi E. Cuernavaca on road to Tepoztlan. Watched Rusty Sparrows until 1200. Not much good activity today. Birds were relatively quiet. Found pair with at least one young (fledgegrown) near territory #7. Found nest of Catherus aurantiiacris & just up on horizontal limb. Contained one young almost ready to fledge. Also checked Blue Grosbeak nest it still contained only egg laid yesterday. Found Brown Thrush nest a few away--contained 2 eggs. P& setting on both nests at 0700 but only 2 Thrushes after that. Watched & Violet-crowned Hummingbird building nest 10 feet up in same crotch. Appeared to be about 1/2 completed. Cloudy to 0930 with several light showers. Then clear sunny for rest of day. Prepared specimens in afternoon (8 Dick got + 2 Rusty Sparrows I collected about 1300).

hh Wolf 1964 Journal August 10 Cuernavaca, Morelos Mexico Up at 0500 after bed nights sleep. After breakfast drove out to 5 mi. E. Cuernavaca where Dick left me to watch Rusty Sparrows while he drove back up to the pine-oak locality 7.5 mi. N. of town. I spent until 12:15 watching Rusty Sparrows. Concentrated on pairs 1,4,2,&6. Apparently the pair I watched yesterday that had a young out of the nest is pair 6 which moved to SE after I first watched them. Probably due to limited wanderings of the young. Checked the Blue Grosbeak & Brown Towhee nests. Grosbeak had laid another egg & a Bronzed Cowbird had contributed one. Also found another Violet-crowned Hummingbird building a nest. This makes three nests - one with 2 eggs & two being built. I have found no young birds so the hummers are apparently just beginning to breed - maybe for 2nd time this year?? Saw first Tanager species for the area. Moved to a mistlobe champ while Dicks following it. Clear all morning until 1000 & then began to cloud over on ridges to N & moved south. Back to town where prepared specimens while Dick took car in to have it fixed & went to market. Had supper, wrote notes, & to bed at 2030.

Dick collected a Black-throated Sparrow. Did not see any Oaxaca Sparrows. Chased Occidenta Thrushes in vain attempt to collect one. Set up camp + skinned the bird which Dick prepared supper. To bed under beautiful, clear sky at 2030. Heard Great Horned Owl call soon after gone to bed. August 13 1 mi SE Tamazulapan to Oaxaca, Oaxaca, Mexico Up at 0545. Had breakfast as it was getting light. Both Dick & I then out to collect. Spent until 1100 hunting in hardleaf + thorny chaparral. Characteristic plants included a holly-type, Arcto- Stephlos sp. + Quercus rugosa + several other oaks. Vegetation averaged 6-8 feet tall with some up to 10 feet. Essentially covered the hillsides. Substrates was rocky + there were scattered blue areas of rock outcrop. Rather than parts of area facilitated walking. Found only one pair of Oaxaca Sparrows & took the 50. 50 yds in either direction along the stream bottom I squashed in adult Rufous-crowned Sparrows. Oaks may have been more pre- dominant when took notosticta, but not much. Possibly the 2 species hold interspecific territories. Dick reported seeing 3 S-terra Sparrows on a hillside above a streamgully. Located a flock of 10+ BL-cued Bushlark + 'schwered' them in.

I stayed here to observe Anemphila rufiganda + Dick went back to where he collected yesterday. The area I worked in is a grassland with shrubs & tree cover which at times reaches closed canopy, but averages 50% or less closed. Most of the trees are species of Acacia. There are some Celtis, few Prosopis, plus other legumes. The grass forms a closed cover + there aren't many weeds. Apparently there are few cattle grazing here & the grass is 6-12 inches tall. rufiganda was not common anywhere, but did occur at edges of Acacia - shr. thickets & out into grassland. Seemed to take refuge in thickets so may occur in more open areas than observed. Luminclerus heard calling from areas where closed canopy thickets reached larger proportions (in area) + Acacia was less dominant. Partly cloudy + sleety until 0800 when sun came out. Wind picked up by 0730 + was 5-10mph + gusts to 15+ by 0830. Saw stink out & active at 0700. Back to town where went to market. Spent afternoon preparing specimens.

After breakfast Dub went out to collect Rufous- winged Sparrows while I tried some play-back experiments using a [illegible] song + a model of Aimophile semicincti. Although I tried the play-back three (for 10+ minutes each time) in territories of 2 singing & 2 I obtained no obviously positive responses. Both of 2 went to tops of trees + sang soon after I retreated from the area, but did not approach the recorder (or model). As other birds were singing actively in adjacent territories I consider the reaction of 2 tested birds to be routine + not prompted by the experiment. Then collected carpalis for <1 hour + obtained 12 birds- collecting 200+ yards of camp in semicircle. Others still left in same area when I stopped collecting - this gives some idea of the remarkable abundance of these birds in this mesquite woodland-shoals habitat. Together we collected 24 carpalis plumbea + [illegible] [illegible]. Then up 0830. Skinned until 1200 when packed car + headed north. Seen extremely hot, but carpalis sitting in exposed positions at tops of mesquite singing. North of Guaymas had tin trouble so drove slowly on foot fire back into Guaymas when bought a new fire for $37. Ate supper in Guaymas before driving on to Hermosillo when arrived about 0745. Bought gas then took gravel road - some 50 ft turn to E (toward La Colorado). Drove to near km 51 where camped for night.

LL Wolf 1963 Chlorostilbon caucensis August 7 Qui E Cuernavaca, Morelos. Año de Lobos. Saw 2 ⚠♀ and 2 ⚠♁ Singly. Found ⚠ about 1/2 completed building not about 15 feet from edge of stream three bottom of canyon. Nest above little mud trail ~30 inches. Shrub + tree canopy probably provide continuous shade. Nest at end of slightly drooping branch of nearby shrub. Placed on branch & supported in part by leaves at terminuses. Cup appeared about 1/2 completed. Outer layer coarse inner bark, then finer material. Pieces of bark pasted on outside. Looked like no lining yet. ⚠ collected material both from ground + treetop of 30 foot tree. Both within 50 feet of nest. Her approach to nest was from above dropping onto nest. Twice she settled onto nest & apparently put material on outside, threw threw motions like bird-wiping on side of nest. Saw no ⚠ in vicinity. When I inspected nest she flew up 1 equal tail + chattering to within 4 feet. Then left area for 10+ minutes.

LLW0/4 1963 Tilmatia depontii August 2 20 mi. SE Morelia, Michoacans took a pair along road thru oak-woodland, scrubby 2nd growth. When collected were about 4-6" apart, facing each other. Hovering ~12-18" above road + moving back & forth horizontally thru distance of ~1 foot. All time facing each other. Not making any audible noise except sound of wings. Watched this for ~10 sec. before collecting. Probably the courtship. Saw as movements suggesting are such as in Archilochns. Likely the are is used by species in which only the ♂ is the active partner.

When three males were performing together there seemed to be alternation of times to flutter up. Often two would be near peak together + 3rd either just starting or just finishing, but never all three at once. Area is open near ground except for vines hanging from trees. Trees average 40-50 feet tall. Several are 75-100 feet. f turned out to be an immature m.

Llasof 1963 Aechmolophus mexicanus August 4 9am E. Cuernavaca Morelos Caton de Lobos. Heard this species calling (what) up hill from trail. Tried to approach to collect, but it stayed just out of sight in dense brush ahead. On returning to trail Saw nest hanging about 3 feet above ground in clearing But with closed canopy - with ground vegetation + no dense brush. Nest well constructed, but thin - could see through bottom + hanging at end of live branch. Supported by spider web attached to three twigs + some leaves. 2 Stub-tailed young in nest. Nest ~60 feet uphill from trail. Waited for adult to return. Came silently about 4-6 feet up through dense underbrush. Left when I moved & began giving whist call. Moved around an about 30-40 feet away. Stayed 5-15 feet above ground - landing on bare twigs often in open sometimes in dense tangle. Always below canopy. Several times chased another bird while giving raspy, chattering call. Other prob. old F. While calling, bird occupied my attention & 2nd silent bird came to nest (30 feet from me) & fed young. Collected + was F & c brood patch. F continued calling intermittently for 5+ minutes + then rose silent. Presumably left area. About 10 minutes after I collected F & I heard young calling softly from nest. Sounded like very soft version of what call of F. Collected nest + young.

LlWolt 1963 Parus wollweberii June 28 mi S. Patal, Cochise Co., Arizona Found nest in hole where limb had broken off 25' up in oak along stream bed. Adult was feeding young which could be heard begging when adult was at rest. When I first noticed birds I thought they had come in response to Pipary Owl imitation. At intervals one of two visible gave begging display + once I thought this bird went to cost entrance. It seems as if this adult was being followed by flying young while feeding 2nd nest. Perhaps the flying young were also helping care for 3rd nest. About 200 yards further up trail I called in an adult of Parus sclateri undergoing postnuptial molt. If they are resident here then 2 species of Parus are occupying same stream bed woodland. June 30 Guadalupe Canyon, Hidalgo Co., New Mexico This is the common pair in the canyon. Occurs in riparian vegetation of sycamores, oaks, + juniper. Encountered usually in family groups of 3-5. A markern collected today (1962) was alone.

H.Wolf 1964 Selasphorus platycercus August 11 2 mi. N. Tres Cumbres, 9100 ft., Morales, Mexico This is the common humming in the pine bunchgrass association. One adult S has center of activity at edge of flowering patch of Lupinus & Pentstemon. Have seen several dive displays. Works by stages - goes 10+ feet and hovers then another 10+ feet to height of 75 to /60 feet then nearly straight down with sharp arc at bottom. Usually has 333-333-333 call at bottom of arc. There climbs again in short spurts usually to height of 25-30 feet but more rarely to same to initial height dives again - shorter dive gives more open arc. Then climbs again to full height. Aug 3-9 dives in a sequence. Only time have seen another humming at bottom of dive it was a ? Broad-tail fucking at Pentstemon. Bottom of dive closely corresponded with her position, it was 2-3 feet above tops of grass. Have seen this S chase other Broad-tails not sure of sex. Once was foreing at Pantstemon when a Colibri thalassinus approached. S Broad-tail immediately left and went back to perch 30-40 yds away. Colibri feeds freely in this Pentstemon patch but no other Broad-tails.

Flew up into lower (8-10ft) up) branches of nearby pine + began tzirit call. Joined in tree by a 2nd adult + then by a juvenile which came up from near when 1st bird was foraging. Juv + 2nd adult worked close together 10+feet up on bare portions of pine branches. 1st adult worked to W side of tree + then flew - flight direct + straight until just before landing when set wings + then flutter down to ground - 30+yds. So W + landed in bunch grass. Both 2 shaped 10-15 sec longer in tree then flew about 6ways to other 1st landed + also dropped into bunch grass. After 2-3 mins of foraging one adult flew back to electric linea near pine tree. 2nd adult flew into pine tree when sat preening. Another adult from N. flew into bunch grass near where two adults had been foraging + heard dry chatter. After 1-2 minutes in tree + electric wires both flew to edge of cleared area when foraged by hopping along ground. One went into bunch grass clump (checked later there were avenues of short grass between bunches). Then disappeared. Both flew up + to S as I approached. A juv joined 2 adults farther to W. Later saw two adults go back to area near where first seen. Adults + juv. moved in lower bunches of pine trees, at least once chipping. One adult then other flew off to E to land in lower branches of pine 30+yds away. Juv. stayed in tree + moved about branches + preened. Then flew off to SE to area from where first seen. Seemed to be two pairs of adults coming close together + young associating with both, but pairs remaining separated.

LLWOLF 1964 Oriturus superciliosus August 11 2 mi. N. Tres Cumbres, 9100+ ft., Morelos, Mexico 0930 - 0950 - followed group of at least 6 Bird (2 ad., 2 jun. 2?) in pine-bunch grass area. First found where one flew up to stub kind of pine - 8 feet up, joined, while chipping softly, by a 2nd bird which worked rapidly up toward top of 50+ foot pine + then flew off to W + landed in bunch grass- two other already there. While 5 other birds moved to N in several flights landing on/in bunch grass + once on lava outcrops. Bird on stub sat chipping then moved to W 50+ yds. to electric lines. Birds on ground split into two groups - 7 going back to S + 1 other going slightly farther N. Birds from S. then heard several times giving dry chatter. Saw bird from N drop into bunch grass giving chip notes. One then 2 others from S. flew over. One from S. landed on lava rock + sat with tail cocked at 60°, put a rock extended. Then also dropped down to ground. 1006 - after chipping for 3+ minutes, 7th bird from S. flew to lava rock + 6 feet above ground. Tail slightly elevated. Then flew, glided (fluttered to) ground in bunch grass while giving tziit notes (chipping). 1040 - 1120 - watched pair forage near car. At first were on nearly bare ground where lints cut made during road work. Moved along by hopping on occasionally tilted bill at 30° L above horizontal + even less often gave chatter call. Once other adult ran toward it carrying approached bill to jump, turn in air, then chatter facing 1st bird when landed. Moved up onto bank + third bird flew on up hill. Two birds foraged on open slope where grass < 3 inch tall + up to bunch grasses + around base of 7-foot pine. Then flew over to tall pine to W + then down to ground 150 yds to N, foraged here in grazed field - mostly away from bunches

LL Wolf 1964 Passer domesticus June 16 Around San Angelo, Tom Green Co., Texas beginning 10+ miles W of San Angelo + also several miles east noted that House Sparrows were nesting on every 2nd telephone pole which bordered dense mosquite woodland. Occasionally saw nest in sparse mosquite but not as regular. Found that birds were using a V-shaped insulator support for their nests, + these were only placed on every 2nd pole which partly accounted for even spacing of 80+ yards between each nest. Around several farms noted nests wedged between main pole + crossbar so the birds could have put the nests closer together. Three poles held two nests usually on 1st + 3rd crossbar, one near main pole + other more distal. The V-shaped supports were on all 3 Gers or proxy poles. Not sure if these doubly placed nests were both active.
