San Felipe, S.L. Lower Calif. Mexico.
April 16, 1926.
and a few St. Lucas Flycatchers, Empidax
griseus, Oboromis suchas occidentalis,
Oboronis Molmieri & Zenaidura macroura
1 & Troglodytes adon parkmani, 1 &
Craspija chlorura , Veres very vicineior ,
1 Lagomis nigricans semiatra & Ardea
herodias 1 Dendroica occidentalis, 1
Dendroica nigrescens and 1 Hylocichla
guttata slavini. The long draw that
runs parallel to the beach and just
back of it was filled with these
migrants who hopped around in the
dense Lycium bushes & allowed close
approach. When we reached the tide
mark 4 Ardea herodias immediately
flew off away, they were very wary.
We observed two ducks in the slue
But when I flink close enough to
shoot there was only one & it was
a Clangula clangula Americana ♀. An
examination of the slue in both
directions did not disclose the other
duck. On the way back we I saw
1 Pandion haluete Carolinensis 1
Aperjella breweri, a few Costae
Celypte costae , 1 Filmmus polyglotis
Leucopterus & Passerella --
and a few Polioptila plumbea .
