My first Another specimen new to me was a pretty little 
Paroquet Paroquet ( Urochroma cingulata ). A flock of a dozen or 
fifteen of these birds came into the cupey tree just after 
I had killed the first Creeper. They flitted and hopped 
about with the activity of so many Sparrows but when not 
moving it was impossible to see them among the green leaves. 
I fired at a spot into which I saw several go and brought 
down one Paroquet and a Green Creeper. 
There were few birds along the ]bath this morning 
but near its entrance I shot a Myiodynastes audax, which 
was sitting on a dead branch in the forest. 
“Sucre Late in the afternoon a flock of six or seven 
Martinique" variegated Tanagers (“Sucrk Martinique") came past the 
house and slighted in the bois immortel trees where I shot 
one of them. They are exceedingly nervous and restless 
birds but not at all shy. They utter a sharp tswee at 
frequent intervals especially just before they take wing, 
7/hen one starts, all the others follow at once and they 
usually dash directly off out of sight and hearing. 
In the evening we took a long walk with the dogs 
who started a Tat^u (Armadillo) which they finally ran 
into a hole where the Carrs dug it out and captured it alivei 
We heard "Po-me-one" in the distance for the second time. 
There are few Owls to-night.
