Lake Omege, 200'; left San Miguel, El Salvador
Feb. 12, 1947.
A short time later saw a single fan-tailed for-
caging in the rocks up canyon from where I
had shot the second one. I decided to take it,
and as I moved toward it, a small yellow-
brown bird flew into a bush between me and
the warbler. I shot this brown bird, and
retrieved a Royal Flycatcher (1232). The bird
was facing me, and I could not see the crest.
Although this bird is very long-necked for a
flycatcher, this is not visible in a perching
bird. Took a long-tailed manakin (1236) from
a branch of a tree. It was about 10' off the
ground. Where the forest thinned out a little,
at the head of the canyon, I took a beardless
flycatcher (1238) from about 5' up in a shrub.
This bird was calling, the note being a sharp,
clear tee-WIT, and was accompanied by a
second individual. On the way back, I
turned and walked down the trail to the lake
shore. About 100 yds from the trail's end,
I saw an immature iguana, bright green
in color, running toward me, down the trail.
It was at least 40 yds from the lake shore in
a straight line. I have never seen an iguana
this far from water. Shot it (1230) when it
faced at my approach. See species account.
