Hotel del Jardin (not recommended) and eating at the Cafe

July 31, 1946
Left Zacaqu at about 1a.m. and drove to Quiroga for
breakfast, collecting 2 P. fuscus on the way (Sibley & each 1).
Then drove to the town of Patzcuaro, and out to Tacambaro,
34 mi. SE of Patzcuaro. Then returned to Patzcuaro, putting
up at Hotel Lago de Patzcuaro (very good). On the way back
from Tacambaro, Chuck shot 2 P. fuscus for me, and I collected
2 P. ocai for him.
Patzcuaro, Michoacan, Mex. to Mruapan, Michoacan, Mex.
August 1, 1946
Returned to our locality 2 mi. SE of Patzcuaro, 7700 ft,
where we collected P. ocai yesterday, and between
us collected 6 P. ocai and 6 P. fuscus. I took a
crossbill feeding on pine cones about 8 ft up in
a tree by the edge of a field. The bird fed in an
upside down position and looked like a Para-
keet. The following is a list of birds observed
near Patzcuaro, from the lake shore to the high
pine country above town: Great Blue Heron, Ameri-
can Egret, Turkey Vulture, Sparrow Hawk, Road-
runner, Hairy Woodpecker, Acorn-Storage Wood-
pecker, Flicker, Empidonax fuliginosus, Nygia-
Chaves Pertinax, Barn Swallow, Raphelbrowa
