J Davis 1957 4. Playa de Santiago, 1km. NW Manguillo, Colima Oct. 28, 1957 In the morning, before dawn, we drove to a road through heavy jungle, 19 mi. NW Manguillo. Saw several Laura-guises on the road, on the way out. The road, which we followed on foot for 2+ miles, led through very dense, tangled, heavily thorned deciduous forest, and finally emerged in a cornfield between two heavily forested ridges. A number of birds were heard, but few were seen, and the vegetation was so heavy on either side of the road that collecting was not feasible. From one of the wooded ridges adjacent to the cornfield, a number of Cha-cha-cacas were heard calling. Western Flycatchers were common everywhere in the forest. One sang for at least 2 minutes, steadily, and just only when I tried to get near enough for a shot. Again, several chases were noted, involving 2 birds giving "chrip" notes. The "tsit" note of this species is a characteristic sound in the forest everywhere. This note could be construed as either a location note, or an alarm note; since it seems unlikely that the birds remain paired during the winter, these "tsit" notes are probably alarm notes. As in California, this species seems to be an early rarer. The "see-ist" of a Western Flycatcher was the first sound heard on the jungle road. Blue-gray Gnatcatchers are abundant here, in all sorts of habitat, some working high (30-40 ft up) in large trees in dense woodland, others noted in more open woodland, and the species noted in more typical bushy
