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.
