1 slope Mt. Lacagnatique, 4600', dept. Morgan, El Salvador
Jan. 7, 1942.
"Sumbadora", the same as the 2 large dark gray colubrids we caught at Monte Cristo, but this snake has a dark median dorsal stripe, is olive green above, & yellow green below. I do not think that it is a young individual of the "Sumbadora".
Jan. 8, 1942.
Took a Guatemala Azure-crowned Hummingbird
(1070) near the house, then spent the rest of the a.m.
reptile hunting without results. Came back to find
that Hildebrand had shot 3 Long-tailed Owl, of
which I skinned one (1019). Went out hunting
for the rest of the p.m., but virtually all I saw
was Black-throated Green Warblers, which
are everywhere in the oak & coffee. Shot a
Turdus grayi (1071), my attention was attrac-
ted to it by several throaty "chirps", which
sounded just like the note given by our
Robin when alarmed. The bird was
about 25' up in an oak. Went night-
hunting with Stinson. We went down
to about 3400'. Virtually no owls cal-
ling. Stit shot a fox. Lowery day.
Jan. 9, 1942
Went bird-hunting in a.m. Took the
trail south of camp while leads to the ridge.
