Cattle Egret in Guerrero, Mexico
Cattle Egret in Guerrero, Mexico.-On April 10, 1964, a photograph was taken of a Cattle Egret (Adreola ibis) in a field 19 km. north of Acapulco, Guerrero, Mexico. (The photograph was examined by the editors.) The bird had a yellowish bill and legs and showed slight buffiness on the front of the lower neck. It was in a pasture, feeding near cows. Apparently this species has not previously been reported from the Pacific slope of Mexico. There are reports from the Yucatan Peninsula and from Veracruz and Tabasco.
Eugene Eisenmann of the American Museum of Natural History states (in litt.) that this species is now locally common on the Pacific slope of PanamL and has now been recorded on the Caribbean slope in all the countries of Central America except El Salvador.-MARTIN H.
