Marshall, (1942)
Attila spadiceus
Lake Ohomega On the west
side of the lake was a flat
area with a very luxuriant
mixed growth of large trees
small trees and patches
of dense brush. A great
variety & number of birds
always encountered there. Some,
like the Attila, and even Best-killed
flycatcher were found here only.
Both my Attila specimens were
shot here as they perched
high in the taller trees.
The male was singing - a
very fine performance of
descending series of doubly reflected
whistles. ~~~~ Little
activity - sat very quietly &
motionless. Posture upright
like Kingbird.
