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.
