San Felipe, s.l. Lower Calif. Mexico
April 6, 1920.
Oidemia perspicillata were in flocks
of from 10-20 and often close to
the shore. The Oidemia deglandi was
seen all alone with a flock of perspic-
illata. Three Larus hemmanni were
seen in a large flock of gulls.
Came back partly blinded and
saw numerous Jackrabbits, Mimus
polyglottis leucopterus, Toxostoma
deserti, Geelvinkia brunnea brunna-
eacapillus couesi, one Sophistyx calif
ornicus, one Myiarchus cinerascens
vallida
cinerascens quite a few Auriparus
flaviceps, New Phamaeopha intensa
and two Veturis parisorum. Took
one Sophistyx californicus vallidea one Toxostoma
lesetti, one Geelvinkia brunneicapillus
couesi and one Myiarchus cinerascens
cinerascens. Lamb found a heron's
nest in a mesquite. It had three eggs,
and a wait for the bird resulted in a
miss. The Sophistyx californicus vallidea
was
killed in the brush under a mesquite
Tree & located by his flucking after
a Myiarchus cinerascens cinerascens
had been shot from a giant cactus
near by.
