13 mi. N.of El Mayor, Lower Calif. Mexico.
April 29.
in the more open part of the Jan.
Phamogepla niths, A. flaviceps, Seterus
bullocki, C. a. septentrionalis, P. plumbea
and M. c. emerascens were the commonest
birds. Saw a few Calypte costae, Vermi-
vora celata lutescens and one flock of
Fengella passerma arizonae.
In the afternoon worked the country
from the camp down towards the
river. Saw a Dendroica auduboni a.
several Znaidura macrorham; three
Melmorpes uropygiales, three Dryobates
muttallii 30-40 A. p. sonomensis, 3-4
Blue Grosbeaks, several J. verticalis, one
V. c. lutescens and once A. flaviceps.
The D. muttallii and M. uropygiales were
very shy and it was only by a piece of
luck that I got one.
In the evening while we were out on
the trap line where we had a regular bat
shoot. The bats were flying straight
from the hills to the river and
we took eight before the scanty
supply of ammunition ran out.
The open country is full of flies
and mosquitoes, making a camp here
very uncomfortable.
