There is a road, above sloping ground which leads down to a river approximately 1/4 of a mile away. The river runs more or less parallel to the road. Near the road is a large patch of scrub. Obviously an overgrown garden. Full of rose bushes, old vegetable plots, etc. Interspersed with a variety of trees, e.g. Eucalyptus, conifers, cherry trees, willows etc. This part seems to be the nucleus of the Carbo territory. On the river side it is bounded first by the "hedge, then by a grove of Eucalyptus. Beyond this the ground slopes down to the river very steeply. This part covered by Eucalyptus, with sparse under brush, much sparser than the overgrown garden.

The territory (or home range) of the CC certainly overlaps the territory of the Carbos to some extent, but only slightly (see map). I have not been able to follow the CC carefully; but it obviously does not get into the hedge area very frequently.  Apparently never gets into water of garden area.  Probably most of its territory is in the steeper slope where there is little but eucalyptus and sparse undergrowth.  It seems likely that it has been excluded from the garden area (which would probably be the most desirable area for it) by overt hostility by the Carbos.

[[margin in red]] general [[/margin]]
Based upon the evidence of these few birds, and the little I have seen of the Unduavi birds, it seems likely that the interspecific relations within the D-C complex here are quite similar, although not necessarily identical, to the corresponding relations in central Peru.

[[margin in red]] Carbo [[/margin]]
The rarity of songs by the [[male symbol]] Carbo here is obviously due to the fact that he has a mate and does not have any rival of
