Marshall (1942) Dromococcyx phasianellus Lake Olomega Habitat: dense dry brush with frequent medium-sized trees - 3 pairs within half mile of camp on S. side lake . more common & closer together than Tapera - only on flat lowlands apparently. Usually heard from interior of tall brush patches. 1st spec. taken by calling up in brush patch several times perched for an instant on top of brush. 2nd spec. heard whistling in large tree in farm yard. I went under the try & whistled at it & it was very curious & tame & came within 2 yds. Skulked about in the foliage - often high up and answered my whistle. A striking bird and not well concealed (like squirrel cuckoo.) Call: 1st 2 long whistles, sparsly same as in Tapera; these followed by trill like a blast from a police whistle.
