1964 Ojo Sajera, Chilahuaca Mex
Nov 19 continued
the many trips that I have
made along this road during
from late Feb. through early May
in 1963 and 1964 I have not
previously seen a black vulture
North of Chilahuaca.
In the evening again hunted for
the Gambel Quail saw one running
under heavy borage but failed to
collect it.
Between Nov 14 ad 19 we took
"for the pot" 12 scaled quail near
our camp at Ojo Sajera. The crops of
all of these contained grasshoppers, the
largest number was 15. In addition
most of the crops held a few seeds
ad bits of green vegetation.
During this period we took "for the pot"
14 mourning doves. The crops of
most of these held seeds ad one
or more kernels of corn from
a nearby unharvested field.
Cottontails - 5, - not abundant but
much more common than during
the spring of 1963 or 1964.
