At Altagracia, midway between Ciudad Bolivar and Caicara, this 
little warbler was not uncommon during January and February, 1897. 
and on the 1907 expedition I found it common at Agua Salada de 
Ciudad Bolivar during April and at Caicara during May.

A single specimen of this handsome warbler, an adult female, 
was captured in the thick forest at Munduapo (above the second 
falls) in February, 1899. Klages collected it at La Pricion, Andre 
at Nicare and La Lhiion on the Caura, and the writer secured 
a single specimen at La Cascabel, May 26, 1907. In the La Cascabel 
specimen the eye was dark ; bill black above, slate grey below ; feet slate 
grey. It is a male not yet in full plumage, having the entire 
top of the head slate blue like the back but with the feathers black 
basally : the feathers on the forehead are tipped with ochraceous ; 
lores, cheeks and streak above eye and ear coverts ochraceous buff 
flecked with blackish on lores and sides of face; auriculars slate blue 
with some buffy shaft streaks.

Many taken at Quiribana de Caicara and at Altagracia in 1897-98. 
At the former place it was common in the tall grass and sedges, 
growing along the low marshy banks of Quiribana Creek, some six 
or seven miles back from the Orinoco, on the open savanna. AMien 
flushed these birds would flutter just above the tops of the grasses for 
twenty or thirty yards and then drop out of sight. The action was 
what one would look for in a rail and verv unwarbler-like. 
'In Cat. Birds Brit. Mus. X. 1885. p. 369. under the "key to species," Mr. Sharpe erroneously 
G. pehetni in a section "havine a black pectoral collar." but there is no pectoral collar in £ 
seen and the white throat is followed immediately by the red breast.
