J. Groth 1987 Journal Black Canyon, 241/2 mi. N + 3 mi. E Santa Rita elev. 7500 ft. Black Mts., New Mexico May 31 (contd) in the forest with a signpost. Just past Meason Park; another 1/2 mile of the road, a spring amplified into a concrete tub did trickle down the canyon. Here I set up a net right over the water, thinking the birds might come down here -- it was open and grassy in the canyon bottom. I heard some type z's and recorded them, but only a little later caught a male-female pair, then I was able to record and shoot a lone male. Since this was Sunday, I anticipated some weekend traffic on this road, and some trucks, jeeps, and a car drove by. I decided to go elsewhere at about 12:00 noon, so I drove N on 61 then E on 59 towards Truth or Consequences, NM. The drive on 61 went through some good pinon-juniper and ponderosa pine habitats -- very open and dry, with canyons and mesas. At the junction with 59 (westbound from 61)
