and sloughs farther back. They
are beginning to flock up!
and many young birds are
about.
Another Priged Kingfisher
was seen but could not be
snashed.
Aug 20. Thu.
We discovered that the
easiest way to get to the
canyon where the Tubbys are
supposed to be was to climb
the ridge. Van went to San Salvador
today so Dad and I were alone.
We saw many of the
Guatemalan Ivory-Bills and
shot several.
We also ran onto a pair
of the Red Tanagers in a
brushy thicket. I shot the birds
and then discovered they were
breeding. I looked high and
low but could find no nest.
Van says they nest like a
eastern Flycatcher about old
stumps. The species is rather
rare around here. They are very
noticeable however when present -
continually challenging and
most surely like a Wren.
We have often thought they
were some large species of Wren.
