common, and can be heard calling. The call is a
nasal weet-weet-WET-too. Saw a small bird
foraging actively in a vine tangle beneath some
frees & collected it. Turned out to be a Long-billed
Ant-Wren (1222). Further on that an Ant-Shrike
(1223) as it foraged in the dense brush along the
slough. It was with a fair of ovenbirds. The oven-
birds seem to be fairly all through here. Marshall
shot a Basilicus (1215) in some brush well away
from the slough. This is one of the few individ-
uals of this species that we have taken away
from water. On the way back home collected a
G Richardon Seedeater (1224) in the grassland.
Went night-hunting. Heard several doves fly
out of a tree, and when put my jack light
on the branch, found one White-fronted Dove
(1228) which had not taken wing, although it
was fully alert. I shot it with the .22 shot-
pistol, and skeletonized it.
