Nov. 2 5 km N Villavicija, 1400 ft, Huila, Colombia S.A.
A flock of about 10-12 flew low over
me and landed in a tree in a park-like
flat just N of Quebrada Lajas bridge
(W of tracks). They appeared identical with
our camp pet, which Paulino says is
called “perico de conejón” or “conajero”
because it builds its nest holes in
the arboreal nests of termites (“conejos”).
These birds squawk and screech much
like the Aratinga which often
pass high over camp, calling.
