I haven't seen any trace of mixed flocks around here either during last four days [[margin]] Brun CG GC [[/margin]]. Species present include Bruns, CC's GC's, [[underline]] Thraupis bonariensis [[/underline]], "PL" type [[underline]] Atlapetes [[/underline]], (probably) the Gray and Yellow Finch, the black-headed Goldfinch, Andean Sparrows, and [[underline]] Catamenia analis [[/underline]]. 

CORRECTION: What I have been calling D'Orbigny's may really be no. [[Roman numeral]] XXXVII [[/Roman numeral]]

[[underline]] Addition: [[/underline]] This evening I saw large groups of [[underline]] Phrygilus [[/underline]] and [[underline]] Catamenia [[/underline]]-like finches moving in groups - possibly to roost. Must check next time, to see if there are really organized flocks.

Transcription Notes:
Thraupis bonariensis was BY FAR the hardest thing for me to figure out. Lots of searching on the wikipedia page for list of birds in peru. This seems to be the only reasonable transcription of this very difficult to read handwriting.
