  There were few birds along the path this morning
but near its entrance I shot a Myiodynastes a[?]d[?]
which was sitting on a dead branch in the forest.
  Late in the afternoon a flock of six or seven Variegated
Tanagers ("Sucre Martinique") came past the house and
alighted in the bois immortel trees where I shot one
of them. They are exceedingly nervous and restless birds

frequent intervals especially just before they take wing.
When one starts all the others follow at once and
they usually dash directly off out of sight and
hearing.
