Davis 1941 25 N slope, Mt. Tocagua, 4600', Dept. J. Morgan, El Salvador Dec. 29, 1941 over the ridge, where they are usually abundant. This was at about 2:30 p.m. At about 2:45 p.m. as I was heading north down the slope, a flock of at least 100 swifits passed overhead at an altitude of about 100 feet, leading for the ridge. They seem to move about in a con- fect flock. Town down took a Lisiolpha melano- cyana (985-ad. 4) from a coffee bush about 2' above the ground. It was one of a flock of about 15. 9 out of 10 flocks of these jays that one runs across is accompanied by an equally large flock of underwood Orioles (Icterus chrysater). Both birds are very noisy, & such a mixed flock can be heard from a considerable distance. Right near the coffee mill, a few hundred feet from camp, I saw an Central American Squirrel Larkoo (Sciuracayana stitori) sitting about 10' up in a shade tree in the middle of a small coffee grove. Took the bird (986). Skinned the rest of the p. m. Owl-hunted after supper, but for only a short time as my flashlight bulb burned out. Joe took a three-hooter owl tonight. It is Lic- caba nigata, & is quite common here. I heard several tonight, but could do nothing without my light.
