Davis 1942 Lake Homega Zoo, Dept. San Miguel, El Salvador Feb. 8, 1942 Miguel. These ground doves are not nearly so common as the resident Buddy Ground Doves. This bird was a ♀ in laying condition, and was accompanied by another bird, presumably the ♂, when collected.

There are very few trees near those brush thickets. Feb. 9, 1942. Gealey and I hunted up a canyon about '¼ mile W of camp. This is a north-south canyon, well wooded. The stream bed on the canyon floor is very rocky. Saw 5 or 6 Fan-tail Warblers foraging over the rocks accompanied by a flock of Ant Tanagers.
