R.B. Hamilton 1967 Journal 5 km N, 5 km E of Pomacochus, Dept. of Amazonas, Peru, elevation 6000 ft. August 27 die right away but took off running. We chased it and caught it. The native managed to kick it into submission. I then returned with my trophy! Fred also did some hunting, and he shot a Chestnut-crested Cotinga and a Cinnamon Fly- catcher (Pyrrhomyias cinnamomea). He collected a Slaty Thrush (Turdus nigriceps) in his net. Needless to say we were all busy in the afternoon putting up specimens. Before dark I again found a hummingbird in my net. This time it was a Tawny-bellied Hermit (Phaethornis syrmatophorus). I checked my nets throughout the night, again catching many bats and went to bed about midnight. August 28 I got up about 06:30. Carl had been up earlier after sleeping on the hill hunting for night birds. He collected 2 Pauraques (Nyctidromus albicollis). He put those up together with a Streak-headed Woodcreeper (Lepidocolaptes souleyetii) and a Flame-faced Tanager (Tangara parzudakii) which he had collected yesterday. The variety of birds found here is amazing. This could be expected because of the complexity of the habitat. Tanagers and woodhewers seem to be especially abundant and varied with large mixed flocks of birds traveling through the forest. After breakfast I went walking along
