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.
