When the group first appeared, a Scans came and perched a few feet away. Then flew away. Again, very Diglossa-like Incidentally, all the [[underline]] rufinuchas [[/underline]] seen here have had white spots on wings,
See single Cotinga above again. Same place as before 8:48 am.

8:55. Slightly different area. See single [[red check mark]] [[underline]] rufinucha [[/underline]] in low scrub. Edge land slide. Apparently alone
Apparently rufinucha prefers more scattered scrub than the PL or the PR.
[[margin, in red]] 39 [[/margin]]
Then I see that this rufinucha is really member of a pair. One or both utter(s) Twitter Greetings!
I wonder why I haven't seen any [[underline]]B. nigrocristatus [[/underline]] around? There is quite a lot of bamboo around, in spots.
[[margin, in red]] 40 [[/margin]]
See a single Agriornis-type. [[red check mark]] Perched on low branch mingled second growth and old tree area. Alone.
9:12. See single Sooty Thrush alone.
9:19. See pair [[two red check marks]] Yellow-bellies in tree edge low scrub. Alone.
9:25. See pair [[underline]] Cnemoscopus rubrirostris [[/underline]], probably with other [[four green check marks]] bird(s), low in large tree edge low scrub on landslide.
Leaving 10:03
NOTE: The observation of rufinuchas in a mixed flock this morning really was very important. If I ever found an area in the Western or Central Cordilleras with a depauperate fauna in which the species behave as they do in Quito, I might have to revise (or drop) all my hypotheses about frontiers, invasions over gaps, etc.
Incidentally, it might be a good idea to stop using the term "invasions over gaps", and to use "sudden invasions" instead(???).
