Marshall (1942)
Chlorophonia occipitalis
(Heard by MH at Los Esesmites)
V de Santa Ana Common in the heaviest,
densest, greenest forest trees on the
North slope of Cano de los Naranjos
where feeding in high or medium
high foliage but could get close
to them on steep hills. In
groups of 3 or more per tree.
Call remindful of Sayornis say a plaintive long pure whistle,
but in this species is lower
& fuller & rounder tone. But
very pathetic and slightly inflected
down. Feed among light green branches
& foliage & blend very well.
Hildebrand camped out
on Los Esesmites & heard these
calls, probably in early am or
evening. I don't recall having
heard them although I was there
for the "dawn chorus" of Bram Robins.
