495 Micrathene whitneyi 6X15/1 8
Shot at twilight. It was
a little cloudy and they
came out earlier than usual.
They evidently came from
the thickets of Elder and Willow.
The calls, of which there are
several, are different from those
heard the first time I made
the acquaintance of M. whitneyi,
and are those mentioned under
#452. I probably heard the 9
calls then, and these are those
of the 8. The females seem to
pass the day in the Giant cactus
while the males stay in the brush.
