was the kingbird like Myiarchus
with the rattle now that
we saw at Mayatan.
We saw sparrow in the
bushes. He was brown above,
even light gray brown below
and a light line above
the eye. He was the size of
a Crown Sparrow and had
a similar chip note. The
habits were quite sparrow
like.
Glimpses of one woodpecker
about the size of a Gilded
Flicker more later. It was
not a flicker however but
sound rather more like a
gila or Dryobates.
Another woodpecker, probably
cactus, was heard but not
seen.
Two Wrens were found;
one a small plain little
bird gray below – brown above
with a barred tail and
the size of a Winter Wren.
It had a very big, loud clear
song and a typical Wren
chatter; the other larger
Wren was apparently the
same as that shot on the
Islands. The note was heard
which was more like the.
