Encina primera 6200 ft. San Pedro Martir Mts. Lower California, Mexico. June 25 Gilmore 1926 Arriving here at about 130 P.M. after 5 hrs. of traveling from Vallejo. Went hunting in the late afternoon and took one Rupile megalo?, maculatus megalonyx, one immature Lawrence Goldfinch and a pair Q Willow Goldfich, besides seeing numerous Troglodytes albon parkmanii some Junco oleyannus townsendi Uphelcoma california obscura and California Woodpeckers. In one place I sat down next to some wet ground my oak trees and commenced squeaking on the back of my hand to attract some birds for more were to be seen. After a few minutes of peeping a few Troglodytes albon parkmanii came hopping to a nearby oak where they hopped hopped about uttering their guttural piping. Squeaking. In a few minutes I was surrounded by eight or ten of the social little birds which continually hopped about # and every so often emitted the same low toned song. Not once did I hear them break into their more joyful song which they frequently use.
