Vermillion Flycatcher (?)
Villarica, 1400 ft., Huila, Colombia, S. A.
Oct. 18- One pair seen working around a nest
about 4 ft. up in a thorny legume bush.
A light rain was falling at the time.
I could not be sure whether the nest
was an old one serving as a source
of materials or a new one under
construction (I am inclined toward
the former view). The bird is known
locally as "Santa Maria"
Oct. 19 Male Vermillion Flycatchers rather
commonly seen on prominent perches.
Nov. 2 Pairs, and particularly males, seen
frequently. They seem well-distributed
over the countryside; I do not recall
having seen two males in close
proximity.
