November 1950 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.
