P. PEARSON 1952 Mothoprocta (cont.) Gone close. S? [illegible] her by dodging, and she ended up uphill from it, still calling; twice it started calling again, and both times she moved rapidly toward the sound but didn't locate the bird. She seemed determined to hear the best call. At 6:00, it was almost dark and she stopped calling. Conclusion: (1) The S? does all the eventuating for the past several days. (2) Both S? and F? call. (3) The eventuating S? may meet and copulate with F? --and determine mating period. (4) During such trysts the F? choose intruders. (5) Close contact is probably made briefly at the end of "trysting". Mar 14 Put 2 dummies on flat in a.m. and waited in/ photo blind, but nothing came near them. Went up to rest at 3:40 p.m. had bird on. Much calling by at least 3 other birds, mostly down-hill. After some time one bird passed up the ridge beyond rest about 25 yds from nest. A few minutes later a F? came up the same route, calling steadily in a slightly deep voice, most of the calls being slightly 2-parted (hee-haw). This bird stopped on top of the ridge opposite the nest (20 yds away), did consider calling, pecked around as though she belonged there. When chirping started uphill (probably by the bird that had just passed up) this F? started up after it--this foraging as she went. The uphill piping stopped, however, before she got there, but just about then piping started from the next ridge beyond the rest ridge (60 yards from the F? starting point, 90 yds from nest). The F? turned and started towards it with determination. She located
