1 mi. E. of Omiltene, 7400 ft, Guerrero, Mex.
July 22, 1946
feckers and Hell's Jays were abundant
in the oaks at lower levels. Several Brown Tree-
fers and White-breasted Nutcrackers were seen
in the oaks. 1 Hylocharis leucotis was noted.
2 Hairy Woodpeckers were seen in the oaks at
the foot of the ridge. Both were taken, but one
met with an unfortunate accident during
the process of skinning and was discarded. One
large pigeon was heard, but not seen. Troglo-
dytes brumeicolis was exceedingly abundant
at all levels, probably the commonest bird in
the area. At one time I had at least 10 fly-
ing about the under-story vegetation in response
to squeaks. Most of them were within 15 feet
of me, or within 5 feet. Catharus sp. was heard
but not seen. Several tree squirrels were seen
but not shot. Skinned in p.m. Bats were
heard flying about camp; Fibley saw several large
bats flying high & straight over the tree-tops.
The Hyla were in voice again tonight.

Returned from Omiltene to Mexico, D.F. and
stayed at Azteca Courts.
