Coryphopasia pileata
Oct. 26 5km N Villavicija, 1400 ft, Huila, Colombia, S.A.
On the high flats of camp saw many -
in loose flocks? Numbers were seen
feeding on the pitahaya fruits of the
"cardon" cactus, along with numbers
of small "goldfinches" (?). Shot 5 -
all males, and taken at random
as they approached the spot where
I was sitting.
Oct. 28 Several seen in arid thorn scrub on
S side Quebrada Carletana about
1/2 mile below camp, seemed to be
in loose flocks; did not obviously
attempt to remain in any restricted
area.
Oct. 30 Numbers seen in arid scrub on high
flats W of camps. The crimson crown
patch of the male is easily often
seen now that I look for it.
