Hardinickson 1950 Volateria Nov. 2 5km. N Villavieja, 1400 ft., Huila, Colombia, S. A. These birds are very commonly seen along the R. R. tracks between camp and Villavieja. They are apparently spaced out in pairs for the most part. A common perch (like depophila minuta) is a stem or blade of the tall, coarse grass growing on and near the R. R. embankment. They seem to have a curious habit of suddenly rising about a foot off their perch and immediately settling again on the same spot. Nov. 8 Villavieja, 1400 ft., Huila, Colombia, S. A. Numerous in tall (3'-5') grass on island next to town.
