Arrive upper patch of woods 7:25 am.  Just as light drizzle starts.

Getting clearer 8:02 am.
8:05.  Hear outburst of 3 and 4 note  series of W's.  Possibly tamarins.  Notes of moderate length.  Apparently a response to sound of tree falling in distance.

Sun comes out, briefly, 9:13 am.  Birds are quite noisy.  Oropendolas apparently breeding.  But no monkeys visible or audible.

10:25 am.  Cloudy again.  Walking along side path.  Region of moderately tall but not very dense forest.  Come across 2 Callicebus torquatus.  When first seen, about 30 ft up.  Run up higher, to 40-60 ft.  Then gradually
