Carl Pearson 1969 Journal Poya León Trace 5 July Here I saw: Finally! Burhinus superciliaris. One pair started to run away at my approach, but stopped and nervously preened their breasts and watched me and made a nervous noise. When I moved, they stalked further away + stood sometimes tall, sometimes crouching. Sometimes they'd drop, or depress, their tails or start to squat. The two were identical, being mostly gray-brown with white abdomen and a prominent black stripe above the eye that makes the head look longer. The tip of the beak is dark, and there is some darker shade in front of the eyes, so the face seen from the front has an odd pattern. The eyes + legs are pale green. A second pair scared up + flew off when I was about 20 yds away + showed a flashy black+white wing pattern. They had a loud alarm call: tu-tu-tu-tu, tu-tu-tu-tu,... Gallinula chloropus - one pair - saw bright orange faceplate. Pezites militaris - 2 - bright coral red breast, brown back, ieterid shape. ? Falco femoralis? - a falcon fairly large, w dark underside of wing near body, rufus somewhere on back. Mimus longicaudatus - 5 ?- maybe flycatcher. White undersides; white above-the-eye line; dark tail; rufous rump; some white on wing coverts; rest grayish. Not too good a look. ? Was bad light. Tachuris rubrigastra - (= Sietecolores) one pair Perhaps ? Orchelidon murina - 20 swallows w somewhat forked tail, "dirty" under A cyanoleucus? side
