E. Heske 1980 Journal Playa Escondida, Sierra Tuxtlas, Veracruz, Mexico March Thursday Woke up at 0400! Day was hazy, overcast. ~20°C, 0 wind. A little cooler, perhaps, than the past few days. Went on the usual birding foray with Dave, Sue, Lonie and Gerhardt after unfurling the mist nets. We followed the trail W of our rooms to the crossing at stream #1, then followed a new trail (for me) NW up the hill to where a Slaty-tailed Trogon nest had been located the previous day. The trogons were not present (~0430). The nest was spherical, ~ 1m tall, with a single opening ~20 cm in diameter right in the center. The nest was situated in the crotch of a branch ~30m above the ground in a broad-leaved tree (sp. unknown). We followed the trail up the ridge, then out along a ridge running NE: Ridge / Point 2 COAST Ridge Point 1 X trogon nest monkey tree [illegible] stream #1
