We saw a flock of these birds in a tree with Sykes's Monkeys (photographically elusive) not far from Mountain Lodge on the way to Sweetwaters. They seem to have spread there—Zimmerman, Turner, and Pearson say they're not found nearly so far east. Agoi has reported them from this spot several times in recent years.

The "casque" is the thing on top of the bill.
