Village of Sierra de Agua, 4 mi. N of Lerote, 7900 ft, Vera Cruz, Mex.
July 7, 1946
This a.m. Libby collected a Brown Towhee perched in
a Baccharis of Brush at the edge of a field. Several
others were seen between Sierra de Agua and Lerote.
The roadsides here are bordered in many places
by corn, maguey and grain fields. Many of the corn
and grain fields are bordered by maguey hedge-
rows, which apparently provide the necessary over
for Brown Towhees. The Brown Towhees collected
yesterday, and the one collected today, were compared
to the 2 specimens collected at Jerego, 3 mi. N of Sa-
Chuca. The 3 specimens from the eastern plateau
are larger, paler dorsally and with paler throat
map
and chin patches and paler under tail covers. Re-
frence for the localities for the 2 towhees collected yes-
terday and the specimen collected today is the
same as cited in species account for July 3, 1946.
