101 They are far away. Do they have comparatively large territories? 10:55 am. See another large mixed flock without monkeys 12:10 pm. Off on another side path. Region of what looks like moderately old second growth, 30-40 ft high, in midst of mature forest. Startle a single Callicebus torguatus from tangle 25 ft up. Apparently quite alone. Runs off individually. Silently. (NOTE: This ind. looks quite like captive on BCI. Definitely reddish above.) There is a palm nearby. Apparently same species as the one on which the other torquatus were seen to feed a few days ago. It is quite possible that the ind. seen today had just come from this palm. (Suggested by some sounds of moving branches. After the ind. leaves, I hear peculiar sounds from the direction in which it went. Series of notes. Usually begin with 3 fairly low pitched "Tuk" Notes. Followed immediately by 4 to 20 (approx) rather melodious "Kow" Notes. Latter are very tragon-like. Series usually rises and then falls, I think. Unfortunately, I can't see performing animal. Of course, it may have been a tragon. If it was the torquatus, I presume that the "Tuk"s are homologous with the "Chuk"s of moloch, and that the "Kow"s are some form of Resonating Note. ADDITION: the vegetation in this second growth area was dense. But only moderately so. 1:25. See another mixed flock without monkeys. No trace of Sakis where they were seen first day. Stopping observations 1:45 pm.
