found commonly in Jargans and Platanus Ednas. I chased several Muskeens but without avail. They seem to always inhabit the same sort of low moderately dry Timber usually a little to one side of the stream bed part way up the slope. The other day I believe I did not record watching one of the large Stupel Woodhuns bastardy. The bird was seen to fly up on a longwill bare branch in the sun and squat down. It spread his wings out and laid his head down and remained thus for some time until I shot the bird to make sure what it was. I shot a or Devil Hummer which is dark green just like a male. The brown hummer is a separate species - the coral bill also looks alike. There is always a large flock of Inca Doves in the Cornfield but none of the Ground Doves. They seem to be flocking up as they are in the woods by the Equal. But however, there are about an equal number of Inca and Ground Dove.
