mately where I saw Yellow-throats & [[underlined]] T. labradorides [[/underlined]] yesterday. See a small diffuse flock of "bush-tanager" type. Unfortunately without being able to identify species

In the 3 days here, I have once seen a single Slate-throat and once a pair. Not associated with other species.

6:00am 8000ft. Edge of light forest. See mixed flock including [[underlined]] T. nanori [[/underlined]], others, feeding in trees about 20 ft. above ground. One of the others certainly BCBT.  Flock breaks up fairly soon. Blue and black's are the leaders (if any).

6:15. Slightly higher.  In light forest.  See pair of BYB [[underlined]]Compsocomas[[/underlined]] and at least 1  [[underlined]] cyanocephala  [[/underlined]] feeding in top same small tree.  Almost certainly others in same flock.  [[underlined]] Cyanocephala  [[/underlined]] flew off.  BYB(s) do [[underlined]] not [/underlined]] follow. BYB(s) certainly [[underlined]] not [[/underlined]] leaders of this flock.

6:40 am.  Another area.  8250 ft.  Come across an enormous flock. Including, among others, at least three "BCBT"s, 1 pair BYB's, at least 1 Blue and Black, 1 adult [[underlined]] T. heinei [[/underlined]], 1 Cy, 1 [[underlined]] Atlapetes rufinucha[[/underlined]], lots of N. American warblers, 1 pair furnariids.

1 BYB J --> Blue and black. Otherwise flock rather diffuse and un-coordinated. The [[underlined]] A. rufinucha[[/underlined]] was in front (not necessarily in lead I suppose). Birds going in all directions.  Flock as a whole not moving forward very much. Flock generally [[underlined]]very[[/underlined]] quiet.  Moderate no. of "CN"s. Occasional brief bursts of song by 1 or more sp
