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
