The latter remain behind and apparently disappear

Then a single Cy [[red check mark]] flies by thru [[underline]] low scrub [[/underline]], passing behind flock. Shows no tendency to join group. This is where Cy was seen carrying n.m. yesterday.  Was this bird low because it was going to nest???

6:55. Single Yellow-belly flies thru tree-tops across road from flock. Passes within 40 ft of flock. But (also) shows no tendency to join it.
Flock has now moved uphill. Also higher in vegetation.  15-20 ft up, in bamboo and tangles on trees. Now some birds at least 35 ft up! Still very noisy.  But birds very difficult to see now.  Going to leave group now 7:02.
[[margin, in red]] 84 [[/margin]] See pair of Yellow [[2 red check marks]] bellies alone. High in trees, 40 - 50
ft up. 7:10. See [[underline]] another [[/underline]] mixed flock! Only a few hundred yards up road

[[margin]] [[in purple]] XIX 40 [[/in purple]] [[in green]] 144 [[/in green]] Birds extending from tops tall trees to low scrub only a few inches above ground. Possible to recognize two distinct sub-groups. [[margin, in red]] Sitte [[/margin]] A tree group: Including Sittes and Woodcreepers all the time; and the Yellow-belly, the Western Tanager, and the Cys most of time. Also a scrub group Including the 2 [[underline] Hemispisigns [[/underline]] types, the [[underline]] rufrincha [[/underline]], and the Whitestarts. But the two groups overlapped. Once the Cys, the Yellow-belly, and the Western 
[[margin, in red]] Cy [[/margin]]
flew down into very low scrub, only a few inches from ground (possibly joining the [[underline]] H. superceharis - B. lutloverides [[/underlined]] types) and fed there for for some minutes before going back to trees.  
All birds feeding on insects all or most of the time. Pushing them off
