Davis 1942 37 N slope hut, Lacaguatiqua, 4600', Dept Morazan, El Salvador 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.
