Tecoman, Colima, Mexico
Nov. 12, 1957.
Hail free. This was exactly the same sort of situation in
which they were seen near Trancuillo on Oct. 31. The
stomachs & guts of both were crammed with green seeds leav-
ing a very sticky, gelatinous outer covering, possibly
a mistletoe seed of some sort.
Nov. 13, 1957.
In a.m., returned to point 8 1/2 mi. NNE Tecoman, where
Rhinocorhiza had been heard on Nov. 11. The song that we
associated with that species on Nov. 11 was heard several
times, but I never saw the bird making it. Collecting was
slow, so moved to the locality 2 mi. E Armeria, at the Rio
Armeria. Another Lecluch's Bunting was taken, also
in brush at the edge of a clearing. The bird was occa-
sionally shot while foraging on the ground beneath a
thorny bush. Heard a Laughing Falcon, saw one
Black- and- White Warbler, and noted as well
Flake (6-8)" immature White-thrush flying up the river.
One Warbling Vireo was seen.
Nov. 14, 1957
Took a road SE of Tecoman, leading to the village of
Cerode Ortega, which is about 1 mi. from the edge
of the Rio Varayo, on the Colima-Michoacan border. The
river bears another name at this point, but I cannot
decipher it on our Mexican map of Colima. On the way,
the road passed through agricultural country for about
12 miles, then through cattle country for the last 6 mi.
