Nov. 23 5 km S. Villavicencio, 1600 ft., Meta, Colombia, S.A.
Calla, identified by Carlos, were heard several times during the day. Especially,
the calls were heard during a spell of heavy overcast and sprinkle of
rain drops, when a shower seemed imminent. In the afternoon, at
about 2:00 P.M., Carlos shot a
♀ (#1607).
Dec. 1 El Miso, 4 km S, 22 km W San Martin, 1600 ft., Meta, Colombia, S.A.
Saw 6 or 7 at a distance of '30' - 30 yds.',
working leisurely thru the tree near the spring.
They were about 10'-20' above the ground most
of the time. I was bathing in a pool below-
the spring as they approached through
the tree. Several seemed to see me, and
to peer curiously at me from various
points of vantage, but did not seem afraid.
When I arose from the water (I had been
sitting half-submerged), they immediately
began to leave. They left quietly and
rather deliberately - there was no
wild flight through the forest.
