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.
