seen to range 20-30 ft above ground.
(Incidentally, the identifications of BYB's in flocks this morning were quite [[underline]] definite. [[/underline]] No possible chance of a mistake. So my supposed observations of this species here in 1962 may have been quite correct.)

Rain pretty much stopped later in afternoon. Going uphill.

3:15 pm. Area where Slate-throat mixed flock seen this morning. See single Sooty Thrush (bright eye ring) alone. Hopping on ground edge scrub. Silent.

(Incidentally, again, the Sooty Thrushes here [[underline]] sound [[/underline]] like the [[underline]] fuscater [[/underline]] I know in other regions.)

See pair [[two red check marks]] Slate-Throats in tree-top. Sooty Thrush flies into same tree, much lower down; then flies off. Slate-throats remain behind. Also hear [[number "10" in red in margin]] what sound like Albi [[red check mark]] R's same area; but don't see bird before it flies off. Something also giving "Seeet" Notes (Atlapetes?) not far off.

Going on 3:28 pm.

3:35. Another area. Approximately same altitude. Another larger [

may be the [[underline]] real T. labradoroides, [[/underline]] [[three green check marks and "56" in purple]] probably others. All observed individuals more or less in tree tops. BYB's fly off in one direction. Nothing follows. Then the [[underline]] xanthocephala [[/underline]] fly off in opposite direction. Nothing follows immediately. But then I see some other (unidentified) bird(s) fly in that direction later. Catch glimpse what is probably same flock a little further on. Now includes at least one Blue & Black Tanager, [[number "39" in green in margin]] and [[one green check mark]] 1 Yellow-faced Whitestart. Yellow-faced Whitestart j [[arrow]] Blue & Black.
