De Buenelitin 1964 March 9 Chatham Bay, Cocos Island, Costa Rica that none of the local species had this, I looked at it to find a ? American Redstart. I was able to see it very well from below, and could see the distinctive long tail, which was only slightly fanned, the yellow breast patches, greyish throat, and darker [illegible], and the white belly. It was to far up to shoot and soon disappeared in the vegetation. There were several White Noddies in the trees here and I saw the tail of one dark Noddy, sp.. There seemed to be two pairs of flycatchers around and I uncocked a good shot at one, never pulling the trigger. On the way up, just before I got to the grove area I flushed the Belted Kingfisher Bowman and Billet found yesterday. I could see it poor from above and behind as it flew around me and downstream, too far even to hit with a shot gun. After working here I went up the creek for a ways, than went up the left hand side of the creek's canyon (facing up stream) to the top of the ridge. The terrain here is unusual steep Cocos style, of steep ridges which are very difficult to climb. I went up a ridge covered with an Iris-like sedge and several very old, fungous-like ferns. At the top the ridges extend spoke like from a central point and are fairly level, the vegetation under the forest open and easy to trans- verse. The ridges are very narrow and drop steeply off from 25 to 50 or so feet to a steep gully, with small (1 acre?) flat benches on which I did most of my shooting, for the birds shot on the ridges were hard to
