screachowl (?) Oct. 26 5pm. N Villavieja, 1400ft; Huila, Colombia, S.A. An owl, which Paulino calls a "currucuci" has been calling every night from a point a short distance W of camp (E of R.R.). Dr. Stebbins has tried unsuccessfully to collect it. The name "currucuci" is a fairly good imitation of its call. Oct. 27 Same (?) owl calling again Oct. 28 " " " " It must be very shy; it either stops calling or leaves when Dr. Stebbins approaches. Oct. 29 Perico shot a large goatsucker which (Paulino) Perico) they say is the "currucuci". We are not convinced.
