The bush behind the village is filled with birds. One trail, the Tamba Tamba trail, ascends the highest ridge nearest the village and remains on top or in the neighborhood of the highest territory for a good many miles. It crosses a small and cleanly flowing mountain brook, descends into a canyon, and comes to a second and larger river, thus passing through sev- eral different types of terrain. In the lowlands bordering the village we found midgets, white-eyes, kingfishers, and heron; slightly higher in the bush proper are thickheads, bald flycatchers, black fantails, and blackheads. The thickheads are extremely common everywhere. Black fantails are less so, while the brown fantails and blackheads are comparatively rare. As the trail goes higher it comes in to the area of the crows, hornbills, rusty wing blackbirds, graybirds, pigmy parrots, pigeons, and dove. The small inky blue honeysucker, and a bittern were also seen in this territory, but it would be hard to say whether they were only to be found here or not. We only could get one of these kingfishers here, while none of the three bitterns seen were taken. The search for the ground pigeon that Meeks reported came to no result. The white-tailed ground pigeon was taken, as were the two common doves (red- capped and red-breasted) and the common ground dove. But with the exception of these, the dove family were hard to locate, and it was on only one day that any of us even heard them call.
