Maria Magdalena Anchorage
Anchored here at noon, had lunch
and I then went ashore, sea calm
+ very little surf. Walked up the
big arroyo for 2 1/2 hours collecting
but had not come to a water hole
of any sort. The avifauna here this
time is very much less abundant
than it was when I was last here
in 1958. My return took 1 hr [hour], I estimate 1 1/2 - 3 total
Today the orioles were primarily
associated with the rather open forest
of low trees, agave + organ pipe cactus
at lower elevations. The parula,
vireos, + wrens + woodpeckers were
throughout, Parrots (Amazon) Cinn
hummer [Cinnamon hummingbird], dusky flycatcher, robin +
blue mockingbird were exclusively in
the moss hung ironwood forests.
Superficially I detect the following
ecologic type. A dense low shrubbery
of the delta area [space left blank], the agave
cactus, thorn scrub of the most arid
hills near shore, The scrub forest
of the transition into the ironwood
moss forest of the interior.
Birds seen today.
