Marshall (942) Tapera naevia V. de Santa Ana about 1 way up for castor bean & coffee but some has grown brushy like similar spot on Cacaguatigue and here as a Cacaguatigue arid lower tropical birds invaded at an altitude normally upper tropical i.e. art shrikes and the present sp. Every day it was heard whistling (only one india) on the dry slope east of the main canyon & steep & inaccessible. One day however I heard it in brushy tract on west side where I got to it and for almost 1 hr. kept in conversation with it. It answered my whistles every time and often came so close that I could hear it walking around on the ground in the dense brush but could never see it. It changed the intensity of its calls very much often sounding very far away. Finally I got on a road below it and in answer to my whistles it got up on a top twig, standing upright, tail down, crest raised, looking from side to side. Collected. Calls same as at Oloaga - Very wide forage area but
