B. Hamilton 1967 Journal July 29. Deschadas Honda, Fundo, 14Km. N. 13Km. E. of Talara, Dept. Piura Peru. right away but didn't catch anything again many were crossed and more as the string was broken. I don't know what has caused this but I suspect that it may have been the paper. Immediately after breakfast I went hunting as about immediately I got a shot at a Desmopteris but I missed. After this I got a shot at a red-tailed woodpecker but fatally missed this one also as recorded in collecting one of them. The desmopterises and woodpeckers seem to move through the forest in loose flocks. Many flycatchers are present in this locality as well as hummingbirds and caribou that seems to congregate around a red-flowering parasite that resembles mistletoes slightly. I also saw long-tailed Humming Mockingbird, Mimus longipesolates as several wing parasites flying over. Dark were also present. I finally was able to get close enough to bring down a parrot. I believe this it is Aratinga exthrogenys the Red-marked Parakeet. I also collected a dark rather green woodpecker which is probably the Golden-olive Woodpecker, Piculus rubiginosus. At 0930 I returns to camp. At camp I obtained a net (this on his lens drin black) as put it up in a clearing in the mosquito near some the red flowers parasites as some low mosquito vegetation. Can also put up a net and first got one two nets in the thick mosquito on for side of the work. During the day I caught a net-borne woodpecker (about the size of Mitchell's Woodpecker), a plain greyish flycatcher as a Cinerous Finch, Piezorkina cinerea in my net. I did not get a desmopterises in any of his nets on the other side of the work. The day was quite sunny
