::::::::^ CAMPING IN a barranca mm^ 



particular species o£ chuparosa is all of an iridescent 

 green, save the head, which is capped with shimmering- 

 gold. Occasionally two would meet, hum and poise 

 before each other for a fraction of time, their deejjly 

 forked tails scissoring open and shut, then launch them- 

 selves fiercely at each other and fight out their little 

 quarrel within a foot of us as we sat at breakfast.
