  Again at daybreak this morning the Howling Monkeys
gave us a full chorus. They were much nearer than
yesterday and I could hear the individual voices
much better. (Hub-bub-bub (roar) bub-bub-bub-roar etc).
  After coffee and bread I went to the bois immortelle.
At first there were few Hummers about and none came
into the tree until the sun was an hour or more high
after which they appeared in quite as great numbers
as yesterday. I had bad luck in shooting but
after breakfast went out again killed enough
birds to keep myself busy for the reminder of
the day. The most interesting specimen was a 
Jacamar which was perched on a twig over the
river wagging its long tail.
