NDixon 1950 Otocompsa emeria Chinese Red-whiskered Bulbul June 29 400 Taurus Ave., Montclair Distr. Oakland, Alameda Co., Calif. In response to a phone call, Martha & I visited Mr. Robert Potte, an entomologist, at the above address. We arrived at 6:30 p.m., at his home on a S-facing slope at the head of a draw in an open woodland of Monterey pines. The bird about which he had called was perched on a wire in the front yard and I had a clear view from below & one side. The bird sat partly erect on the wire; it appeared to be of the size and proportions of an Olive-sided Flycatcher. From this view, I was impressed with the erect black crest and amount of chestnut on lower belly. The bird flew down slope; soon we heard a call given at irregular intervals of several minutes. The call was loud and clear [illegible] or - - churr chee keure keure combining elements introductory portion of meadowlark's song and something of the quality of calls of the Ash-throated Flycatcher. We saw the bird hopping up from one branch to a higher one in a pine on the edge of the street & saw it give the call. Bird flew to tree in Potte's yard; its flight being noticeably direct and fairly swift. Bird moved up in tree & disappeared & was heard no more although we searched neighborhood for it. Potte had seen it on June 26 & 28; on both these occasions it had appeared at about 6:30 p.m. Once it alighted on a small area of lawn among shrubbs on terraced part of hillside & on this evening remained perched longer & was generally less active than formerly.
