Central Peru

February 21, 1964
Above Jarma

Afternoon. Working in area above Jarma where I saw sexual behavior among Bruns and lots of singing by CC's. Arrive 3:40.
Overcast. Cold. Windy.
Lots of indians around!
No red tubular flowers here now.
[[in red]]Brun[[/in red]] 3:50 See single Brun. Flying quite rapidly from bush to bush in thick scrub along edge bare crop field. [[underline]]Definitely[[/underline]] being followed and joined by small brown bird (furnariid? House Wren?). See at least 3 separate examples of joining As far as I can tell, the Brun is ignoring its attendant.
4:05 See a single thrush alone. Dull gray brown. Moderately dark. Yellow bill. Yellow-orange legs. No bright eye-ring.
[[in red]]Brun[[/in red]] 4:30 See a single Brun Alone & silent Feeding on pink geraniums (It must be hard up!)
There are really quite a lot of birds around here now. But they are sticking [[?]] under cover and are very difficult to identify.
[[in red]]CC[[/in red]]A single CC flies by. Alone. Uttering their high "feeeet" Notes.
This bird was really [[underline]]very[[/underline]] blue-gray underneath.
See 2 Orange-billed Saltators in scrub. Probably eventually alone- altho there were also some Andean sparrows in the same or nearby bushes
4:45 See another single thrush alone. Almost certainly the same species as (but not the same individual) seen earlier. But this time I notice that the bird has a definitely light forehead (but not quite white, and intergrading with the darker color of the rest of the head.
