Stelgidopteryx ruficollis
Oct. Nov.2 5km. N Villavicencio, 1400ft., Kaula, Colombia, S.A.
None seen all day. It has occurred
To us that the flight of those seen
in past days has seemed directional
in several cases. To the best of my
memory the directional flight I have
observed has been S (up the valley).
Dr. Stebbins has seen northward
movement as well.
Nov.3 Walked to road crossing at Quebrada
5 of camp at about 7:00 A.M. At
this hour and place many swallows
had been noted previously, flying
over the quebrada. None seen
today. Later, followed this
quebrada (Quebrada Corbetana)
to Magdalena River (all 7 birds
thus far collected were collected
along this quebrada). Hunted for
swallows all the way, and for
a short distance down the
river. Saw none, either perched
or "favorite" (past) roosts or
flying. They seem to have all
left the area. None have been
seen for several days.
Nov.5 Saw none, despite almost continuous search, during
walk to and from Villavicencio R.R. tracks.
