J Davis 1957 17. Playa de Santiago, Km NW Mayanillo, Cuba Nov. 4, 1957. noted: 2 American Redstarts, 1 Yellow Warbler, several Tolmie Warblers, at least 2 Chats (Icteria), and Cilolated Warbler, commonly. A few E. difficilis. The Piranga rubra was singing a monotonous, warbled song, so lineo-like that I thought at first it might have been V.O. flavoidis. Mot-mots were common, I came in readily to speak & singing Owl calls. Twice duos, probably pairs, came in; once a duo came in, followed a few seconds later by a third bird. The mot-mots are not wary, they perch 10-20 ft up in trees, and remain either motionless, or per- haps swinging the tail a few times, for several minutes at a time. One was noted singing the tail as follows: facing me, it swung the tail 4 times, to the right only; the first swing through an arc of 40°, each successive swing through a shorter arc, the last only about 10°; the bird then reversed its position to face away from me, & swung the tail 4 times to the left only, again about 40° the first time, then in ever diminishing arcs until the 4th swing was barely a twitch, then perched motionless for 10-20 sec. Then flew. Three frincialtris noted, in a comfort Trio, 15-20 ft up in a tree. The 2 collected were an adult & ? respectively. The Saltators are common in heavy brush; they are noisy, have a loud call, a “clink” that sounds like someone striking two
