[I could not say positively whether this species is with 

 us all the year round, as it is more of an open camp bird 

 than a forest lover. In the neighbourhood of Asuncion it 

 is much more common than at Sapucay. I have met with 

 it from September to April, but whether it remains on the 

 open lands during the eold months of winter I do not feel 

 sure enough to say, but I think it very probable it only 

 seeks the shelter of the forest at that period and is not 

 migratory. — W. F.~\
