Atlapetes, Sept. 21, 1962, II  

turn, followed by 3 or (less frequently) 4 "Teeoo" notes. Sometimes R and "Feeoo"s repeated in a single song. Sometimes the "Teeoo"s were uttered before the R, but this was relatively rare. Songs usually with CR. In loco or pre-loco postures.
  
(I might add that once, a few days ago, when I came across some PL's unexpectedly, one bird went into a silent, moderately extreme "alert", high-bow-like posture (quite like the corresponding posture of the Chestnut-cap) with CR. No Thflff or actual Bowing.
  
It is interesting that the song of this species is so much like that of rufinucha, while the song of WM is so reminiscent of the Chestnut-cap, as both the P2 and WM seem to be almost identical with rufinucha in shape and ordinary actions (although both may be more nearly terrestrial in habits.)

Atlapetes, I, 

Sept. 22, 1962 
Road to La Azulita

Seen several WM Atlapetes around here this morning. 
  
7:10 a.m. 7600 ft. See what is probably a single WM Atlapetes with mixed flock, including 1 BCBT, and unidentified warbler(s) and fly catcher(s). Bird first seen in tree, then went down into low shrubbery. If my identification of this bird was correct, its movements and attitudes were remarkably reminiscent of Chlorospingus while it remained in the tree.
  
8:00 a.m. 7500 ft. See pair of WM's (definitely identified) in thick but "uncovered" shrubbery. Apparently alone
