Jan. 11, 1942.
Company with several Black-throated Green War-
bler. Took a small Empidonax (minimus?)
from a low shrub in a clearing at the edge
of a banana grove. Lower down, took a Chloa-
delia Virio (1035) from an oak, where it too was
foraging actively with Black-throated Green War-
bler. Took a Boat-billed Flycatcher (1036) from
a coffee shade tree. It was in company with
about 3 or 4 other birds of the same species, all
uttering a loud, harsh note, suggestive of some
sort of jay. Near camp, on the way back, shot
a Nicaraguan Flycatcher (1037) from the top of a coffee
shade tree. The bird was not calling. Spent the
afternoon skimming. Went night-hunting with
Marshall after supper, but we heard no owls at
all. There was a great deal of wind all day, and
after supper, and this had a very unfavorable
effect on the bird-hunting. Someone, Hilde-
brand I believe, brought in two Ameiva (1038-9).
Everyone seems to bring in these lizards, which
are quite numerous & well-distributed. Saw a
snake crossing the trail at about 3600' on the north
slope. It moved too fast for me to even get a shot
at it. I am pretty sure that it was a Tropophis
lineatus, the same as we got lower down at
Monte Cristo.
