Nordrickson 1950 Tyrannus melancholicus Oct. 19 5 km. N. Villavieja, 1400 ft., Huila, Colombia, S.A. Shot female (J.R.Nordrison 1425) which contained 3 Gm. oviducal egg. The egg effervesced upon contacting Borin's fluid. Ovary, oviducal egg, & piece of brood patch skin placed in same vial. (weight on specimen label includes above 3 Gm. egg). Located what is probably the nest, along quebrada S of camp. It is well up in a willow-like tree. Oct. 20 A pair fit in the top of the large tree in camp at about 4:00 P.M. Shot one, which flew a short distance and fell into the dense brush near camp. A visiting boy and I were unable to locate it. Upon returning to camp, I shot the remaining member of the pair, still sitting in the same tree. Oct. 28 A pair nesting in lg., open, tree beside Quebrada Carbatana about 1/2 mile below camp. This and two other pairs noted were occupying same tree, and apparently same territory, as a pair of smaller kingbirds (?) - (dark eye stripe with broad white band above it). Nov. 4 A pair nesting in large, spreading leguminous tree about 2 km. NE of camp.
