Turdus spp.
El Jui?, 230 m., 11.5 km. NNE Encarnacion by road,
Dpto Itapua, Paraguay.
1 September days ago in the woods bordering the
miniature golf area. I used playback, and
[illegible] a response from a rufous-bellied thrush
(rufiventris or a soiled other species?)
8 September At 12:25 I heard a song like that I
recorded yesterday. This also consisted
of songs interspersed with calls.
About 14:00 I saw a leucomelas in
the NW corner of Becker's forest. It
was motionless and silent on a limb
about 15' up in a tree in the middle of the
forest.
9 September While at manakin lek # IV today, I
saw at least one rufiventris (time: about 09:00)
In the afternoon I saw a flock of
approximately 8 turdids feeding on

the SE side of the airstrip right
above the Airstrip trail (16:20 to 16:50).
I saw leucomelas, rufiventris and
amauroschalenus in the flock. Also
feeding in the same tree were Cacicus
haemorrhous (a flock of about 8 which
stayed for only a few minutes) and Tersina
currirostris. There were approximately 10
swallow Tanagers, and they dominated
