Pteronula fodene

Calling from the edge of a roadside rain pool after dark.
10 mi N Benjamin Hill, Sonora, Mexico
Another breeding chorus characteristically located in a rain pool.
On a previous trip to Sonora (1950), much of this same country was covered at night in rainy weather, but no Pteronula were detected. This was in mid-August. Probably the Pteronula bred during the early summer rains and then set retro. We collected several at Hermosilla, but most were juveniles.
