R.B.Hamilton 1967 Journal Quebrada Honda, Fundo, 14km N; 13km E of Talara Dept. Piura, Peru July 29 as warm and consequently there wasn't much bird activity in the early afternoon. Ray did manage to collect a rutter I managed to collect Golden thin motherbird Piculus rubiginosus large flycatchers during the day. Ray or Fred (I don't recall which) collected a dendrocolastes, cut quite a couple of traps and one came faster with meat but they were unsuccessful. Then we saw birds for that sang a beautiful diet song. I don't have any idea of what they are. During the day and in the ear morning and I did legwork. It seems that the trogonian that is here is capable of climbing trees, I worked on my specimen in the afternoon. I ran each and then he didn't have too much open time. A periodically checked everyone's net close. A got my specimen after a paper or less old successfully. I lost three times. The last appeared to belong to genus Mycti (IT 42) inscivorous) About 0900 a went to check my traps and my net. Much to my surprise there were a small bat in my net. It had very long snout with a leaf at tip (front), and I was removing it from net (I was screaming it loose off) another bat flew into the net. I then called for help because my specimen and I didn't want to loose any bat (we had not collected any previously). Ray came (he took a little time because he couldn't follow track to net). When he got there I had just remove first bat from net. By this time there were a third bat in the net (the more such by 1st one probably attracted the other). The 2nd bat looked like the first or bat was about twice as big. They were possibly mother feeding bat. I removed the second one without any difficulty but the 3rd bat was a different story. Can later this one that it was a vampire bat. It's neck was very mobile and it was impossible to hold it
