58 NW Tonalá' April 8 A dry stream 2 mi. beyond Rio Amatello. RG Los Lamoses, 8 mi. NW Tonalá' = about 1/2 mile down (SW) the river & found three birds - apparently pure himilais in a spot along the river (no water). Found them first foraging in small live trees. They then flew across the river bed to a small guanacaste only partly in leaf and into a mass of vines near two large guanacastes & an amate. A bird singing look-hue, look-hue, look-hue Saw one bird pick off a bunch of seeds with long fibers & carry in bill for some distance but apparently did not take them to nest. T. plaurastietus common & singing in same bushes the who chip!!! [illegible] with wrens. They hop over the ground searching under leaves and on low branches. Wings constantly flitting half or 1/2 open shut, abundant here. Hemilai hops. Forages low & high in trees, especially around trunks & dead or bare branches.
