9 Miles East of Tombstone A.T.

178 Centurus andpygiating. X159 9
Oak brown Bill black,
Legs pale, with a green
reflection from the large
scutella. This is the
furthest east I have
seen this species. Did
not find it on the upper Gila.
Frequent marguit trees and the
Giant Bactus. The latter are
not found this far east and
the marguit are low brush
here. This bird was on Oak and
Walnut trees which are very
sparsely scattered along this
arroya. We are now within a
mile of the divide between
the Gila and the Sonora
rivers, on the Sonora side.
Tombstone is on the Gila side
Prairie with very low barren mits.
