PR Altapetes, 3 [[three green check marks]] [[insert, in purple]] 5 [[/insert]]
"Altapetes" XV, 2 Rufs, and 1 Litte all more or less together. Soon joined by 1 Laf.
Just after first seeing flock, I heard a Fire-belly "Ta-auts" pattern about 20 yds ahead of the other birds.

If this Fire-belly (or, more probably, pair [[two green check marks]] [[insert, in purple]] 6 [[/insert]] of Fire-bellies)
was really associated with the other birds, then the latter were following the former.
The PR's were certainly leading the other birds. They were quite noisy, uttering lots of "greeting" vocalizations.
[[margin, in red]] Ruf Litte Laf [[/margin]]
The other 4 species seemed to be following the PR's, without ranging themselves in any stereotyped order. All of them were silent or uttered only weak "CN"s.

All the visible birds of the flock moved more or less steadily in the same direction. In low scrub to small trees, usually fairly low.

Most of this flock eventually went down hill.  But [[underlined]]not[[/underlined]] the Laf [[red check mark]] or the Fire-belly(ies) [[two red check marks]]. I heard both Fire-belly and Laf song at approximately the level the flock had been [[underlined]]after[[/underlined]] the flock had left. The Laf and Fire-belly(ies) were not together when they sang, and did not sing at the same time.

At 8:35, I came across what appeared to be [[underlined]]scattered[[/underlined]] remnants of the same flock. First I saw an apparently single "Blue & Orange" [[green check mark and purple number 1]] Tanager (no. XVI). All it did was utter "Trit" CN's. Moving uphill thru tops small trees. Quickly disappeared.

A few moments later, I heard Fire-belly [[green check mark]] [[insert, in purple]] 2 [[/insert]] song from the approximate area to which Blue and Orange had gone. Then heard 1 brief
