Nearby,  the colorful Collared Redstart were digging
through the underbrush gathering nesting material.   
 
Tumbling over the
ground and oblivious to our presence, we later witnessed the rather violent
face-to-face courtship of a pair of Chestnut-capped Brush-Finch.
Finally, we found a female Black-faced Solitaire incubating a clutch of eggs in an old tree stump. Poachers capture these birds to be sold as pets due to their enchantingly, metallic calls.
