1991
Catalogue
On this initial field outing of the 1991 season, I forgot
my catalogue from the previous two years. I cannot
recall my last entry number, but it was in the 230-240
range, I believe. I am therefore starting this series at
#250. Certainly 250 is not a duplicate number.
As with last year's entries, the abbreviation "STD" indi-
cates standard sex part color appropriate to sex. A reminder
of what these are follows. For adult males: iris dark sepia
brown; maxilla dark gray, greener proximally, tip black; mandible
yellowish-gray proximally, with a dusky tip; anterior gonyx yellow-
isk; loze medium-dark grayish brown, lores slightly darker and
slightly grayer; Claws medium gray; mouth lining pale yellowish;
Throat flesh-pink. For adult females, only bill colors differ: mandib-
maxilla
ule dull med-dark gray with a darker tip. Mandible all dusky.
Variations from these will be noted on individual entries. Other abbrevia-tions: x-except; c-with; f-without; o-otherwise; RR-retained remiges; Ps-primary st
