The Davis -
1941.
July 8.
Miami, Dade Co., Florida - Tampa, Hillsborough Co., Florida.
Drove from Miami to Tampa, where we stayed
for the night. There was a shallow pool series of
pools behind our cabin, from which I collected
1 Bufo terrestris, 2 Bufo fuscicus, +1 Gastrothrype
Carolinensis. Gastrothrype was very numerous
but very hard to catch.
July 9-11.
Tampa, Florida - Brownsville, Texas, via
Panama City, Florida, New Orleans, La., Lake
Charles, La., Houston, Texas, and Harlingen,
Texas. We came to Harlingen the night of
July 11, and went to see Mr. L. Derby Davis, an
expert on birds of the Brownsville region, and
birds of Mexico. Had a talk with him before
we proceeded to Brownville.
July 12.
Collected at around Brownsville. Stayed
in Raymondville, Texas.
July 13.
Went birding with Davis. He showed us
a lot of new birds, and some good spots
for seeing the local avifauna. There are
more birds here than I have seen in any
area for sometime. We have seen 75 species,
and numbers of individuals are high.
July 14.
Went over to Matamoros, on the Mexican
side, saw the town, and found out about
carrying specimens through the U.S. Customs.
Anything goes that doesn't have feathers.
Spent the night at home of L. Derby Davis -
