1982 stenoruf April 11 Canador Bonito, have been here 4 days and heard calling a half-dozen times, sometimes day, sometimes night, the triple call of "hoigi" tuc-tuc-tuc" safely, please, then reject. Old dropping frequent but not abundant, maybe one or two individuals per hectare, after considerable trampling about, I have seen only one fresh exit wound. A cropped individual looked like hoigi. Could be that turacos are more abundant on the lee side of hills where the sand drifts, rather than on the scored side. At 9 AM this morning heard 4 bursts of song from 4 different turacos and each separated by about 50 yards. Each triplets separated by about 1 second, and each song contained the following number of trifle calls: 16, 15, 29, and 10. They never seem to repeat the song, at least not for many minutes, still no fresh dropping. Dropped camp and then ran on the grid at Campo Queiro. About 1/3rd of the trogs had been destroyed, probably sheep or gophers. But thereafter, maybe Pichis saw 1 there on the grid-- the only hare I have seen anywhere this visit. May 6 at 9:00 thru thru the big fabulous rarity was lying in a small clearing on the edge of the lake, less than 1/2 ha, completely isolated. Others at the ward of Parumba do Hui thru in a swell, together with acocassupa + notongs coldwoms. Heard no singing. They feasted as much as 5 gallons of soil in one pile.
