1 unidentified N. American Warbler in dull plumage. All noisy Cy songs. Ruddies utter R's. Ruddies & warber 15 – 30 ft up. [[underline]] Cy [[/underline]] and [[underline]] xanthocephala [[/underline]] 30 – 40 ft up. Cy flies in one direction. Nothing follows immediately. [[underline]] xanthocephala [[/underline]] fly off in different direction. Nothing follows immediately.
     7:30 – 7:50. Watching mixed flock. A little further along edge pasture. When first seen, birds are in trees and scrub about 10 ft inside forest. At

Tree-creepers about the same. Andean sparrows 1 – 5 ft up. Slate-throats 10 – 20 ft up. Yellowfaces 20 – 40 ft up. I.E. [[underline]] the 2 Whitestart species are quite well segregated. [[/underline]] Birds fairly noisy. Yellowfaces utter a few Songs.
     Then at least some of the birds, i.e. the Yellowfaces, fly out into scattered mature trees in pasture. Then I see that in adjacent tree also

Group does not seem to be making definite progress in any given direction. And all species sometimes (not always) [[underline]] very [[/underline]] scattered, difficult to determine who, if anyone, is in lead. At different times, the [[underline]] rufinucha [[/underline]], the [[underline]] Compsocoma [[/underline]], the Slate-throats, and the Yellowfaces, all have [[underline]] appeared [[/underline]] to be in the lead.

This area is approximately 2575 m.
