Lake Ibongua, 200', left S San Miguel, El Salvador Feb. 19, 1942 Spent all day after one bird - got up to a late start. After breakfast the native boy showed me a King Vulture perched near the top of a tree at the summit of a very steep, small hill behind camp. This hill is about 150 feet high, and grown to scrub and grass, with a few fairly large trees in the Trinoso scrub. The whole set-up is very open and exposed, and when I set out the sun was overhead, & very hot. There were several Turkey Vultures perched about 75' up the hill. I went up a cow trail which zig-zagged up the NE slope. The vulture was at the top of the North slope. I made no attempt to conceal my- sself, as the vegetation was sparse and low. Further, I made a great deal of noise, as there were places where I had to smash my way through thorn bushes and thorny vines. About 2/3 of the way up, I saw a bird sitting in a tree, and thought it the King Vulture which had flown down the slope and perched. I dropped the bird, and it turned out to be a large Turkey Vulture. This left me one shell, as I had put a #6 in each barrel I taken no more am- munition. I thought that the shot must have scared my bird, but when I got to a point where I could see his tree, he had not moved. Climbed up to within 60 feet of him. He turned and looked toward me once, and then paid no more attention to me at all. I have seen few birds more unwary. I dropped it with the last #6 and it fell about 20', hit the ground with a thud,
