it. A nest was taken from a banana plantation, where it had 
been neatly woven into one of the leaves; but even in this 
unusual place it was not free from the parasitic birds, as two 
eggs had been laid almost exactly resembling the eggs of the 
legitimate owner.— W. F]

[This species is resident and fairly common in Paraguay, 
its favourite perch being one of the branches projecting 
over the roads through the forest : from this point of 
vantage it is very conspicuous to any person, the bright

tipped wings attracting the eye at once. It is solitary except 
during the nesting-season, when the birds are occasionally 
seen in company.— W. F.]
