P. DeBenedictis 1964 March 5 Guayaquil, Guayas Prov. Ecuador species. (25) Parrotlet - same as the one I collected. The blush crown is hard to see in the first. Some seem to have a blue preocular stripe. Fairly common in small flocks. Saw two near, and apparently interested in an old mud donnel nest (of # ?). (26) House wren. Song only, never saw it. Only 2 or 3's all day. (27) Woodspetch - Red back + black tail, base of tail red. Very variable a more than I guess. One had white /see (brownish) ariculus, black crown; black primaries. Another gray crown + face. Another black nape and red crown. Has a short 'Dendrocopus villosus'-like call and a long descend- ing trill, which I thought was a wren or some-thinl like that at first. (37) Rob. the same - white wing bars on both sevo and the brown bird has black cheeks and a suffrus-brown crest. Saw 4 or 5 and brush as many more. In the dense clumps of brush. Saw a brown one carrying a caterpuler. (39) Saw 3 or four of these in the same. The song impressed me as being more of 'tic' notes, followed by a buzz and the face appeared a little more uniform. Same species ? The following species were either new today, or seen in detail today for the first time and noted.
