D.A. Good 1980 Journal Ojo de Agua, Veracruz 31 December (cont). checked them for birds. We caught more although this was not unexpected since they were set out for bats later in the evening and were not in a good place for birds—too much in the open. After supper (ca. 1845) I went out with a lantern looking for salamanders + Basiliscus but, as usual, found none although Dave, on an earlier trip, had found [illegible] a Basiliscus here. Toward evening several locals came down out of the hills with loads of palm fruits (?) and ca. 1730 a group of locals from Fortín de las Flores (including one American) came up to swim in the pool at the source of the Atzoyuc. They left again shortly after dark. Bird list for Ojo de Agua: Ayté Parakeet White-bellied Emerald Brown Jay Melodious Blackbird Black + White Warbler Boat-billed Flycatcher Blue-gray Gnatcatcher Olivaceous Woodcreeper Least Grebe Green Jay Band-tailed Wren small swift sp.

In 2 places I came upon piles of feathers where some undertified bird had been eaten.
