earlier in the day, it flew
down from a similar sort
of hillside into the twine
below.
Chirpas
Several Greater Blue Herons
were seen about the margin
of the grassy area. Although
the peak was devoid of
bird life.
In the canyon there were
several Plantain Eaters. They
were giving their queer
croak quite frequently.
I collected a group of three
jir, (an Tail Warblers) just
shortly out of the nest. This
proves the spelling of the
species in the lower country.
3 more adults were scarce,
all running true to form with
yellow chips.
The altitude of the peak
was about 2100', the Roadrunner
nest 1600 and the canyon
near where the young Warbler
were found, 7-900', (according
to Van's barometer).
The boatman finally
brought me a Thrush. They
certainly are pretty built.
The bird was a male at
the height of building.
