Here I came across several large flocks of mixed tanagers and woodcreepers but the species present seem to be already collected. I took several shots and missed. I did collect a Chestnut- crested Cotinga (Ampelion rufaxilla) but I did not put it up. The cotingas seem to perch at the top of some of the highest trees and it is necessary to use a full load in order to reach them--also because of the density of the vege- tation it is necessary to kill a bird outright so that the body will fall straight down and it will be possible to find. There have been several individuals that I have killed but could not find. While looking for birds, I noticed a slight movement in a high tree. I went under th tree and waited.
