Upstream changed to cane grass and turned back here - this just above a Papuan landing place - a Papuan canoe tethered. Saw two Dupetor along this bank - fallen tree tops project above flood and on these Artamus and two Aplonis centroides perched - also Rhip. tricolor and saw what is certainly a nest of one of these three feet above water on exposed, dead tree top twenty yards from bank. Boys shot a cassowary near camp. April 11, 1939. Light rain in night - fine at dawn but a small squall passed 6 - 6.30 and then fine rest of day - water slightly higher. Today up creek to east - to where the approximately 10 yard stream comes out of the hills - here a fleet of six Papuan canoes (plus a floating derelict) tethered to bank. Walked up gravel stream a ways - beautiful clear water - pools six feet deep and shallows ankle deep into flood plain forest. Bare footed - coarse gravel not easy on feet. Dupetor flaviculis - a nest with two eggs fifteen feet above water, on flat fork, of tree leaning over stream (photo) below where there is current in it, where banks covered with second growth forest - found a dyak paddle in one of Papuan canoes and confiscated it. After leaving heard Papuans calling - perhaps attracted by shots - van Arcken says a village farther up stream. A canoe with four Papuans overtook and followed me back (photo) - strange how they sit paddling - the bow man doing most of paddling - with feet in water - astraddle the prows. Back at camp came ashore - four to five other canoes appeared - some each direction, σ, ζ including dogs and barong - dogs red brown and white -
