Psarocolius
Nov. 3 5 km. N Villavicija, 400 ft., Huila, Colombia, S.A.
Collected a specimen (#1494) about '1/4 mi.
below (WSW) camp in Jubraba Carbetava.
The area was one of large trees, arching
over the water. The bird flew and uttered
several "squawks" before I shot it. Bill
ivory-colored; iris powder blue. Paulino
calls it a "mochilero"; Perico calls it
an "toperculus".
Nov. 4 An individual flew into the large tree in
the center of camp, "squawked" several times,
and flew on about 100 yds. to another large
tree.
Nov. 21 3/4 mi. E. Buenavista, 3100 ft., Meta, Colombia, S.A.
In a 60'-70' tree growing beside the stream
here, saw a cluster of nests (7; 5 "obvious"
in good condition) and watched birds
entering and leaving the nests. No
calls or other noises were heard.
The nests appeared to be constructed
of woven coarse grass, medium brown
in color. To me they appeared to
hang down about three feet:
