Herbarium 1950 Crotophaga ani Oct. 28 5km. N Villavieja, 1400ft., Huila, Colombia, S.A. [Number] 147A) Took my first specimen today, from top of small tree in thick brush beside quebrada just west of R.R. bridge (which is near camp). Another individual hung around for a few minutes, calling, but I was unable to collect it. Both birds were extremely shy - perhaps from the heavy shooting they suffered yesterday when Dr. Stebbins collected 7, and from further shooting early this morning (when he collected another individual). I had to use full load #12's to bring it down. I believe this species would be clearly distinguishable from C. sulcirostris now that I have seen it. It seems a great deal larger than sulcirostris (to me). The call I heard is a strong, clear, ascending whistle: "who-eeet" from the sulcirostris: ↓ "sreee" Nov. 1 It has occurred to me that all the birds (blackout) taken on (7) on the 27th were males (all from same flock); all (2) were females (RCS #493(?) taken on the 28th - presumably from the same flock. Today we each took one, again
