tuh, lulls. Also light eyes. Very noisy and conspicuous.  But [[underlined]] nothing [[/underlined]] joins
them ([[underlined]] Big [[/underlined]] black and yellow birds [[underlined]] do [[/underlined]] seem to be 
"repellent".) 
10:45 Another edge Kona clearing. See pair [[2 red check marks]] Slate-throats. One low

in brush, 2 - 5 ft above ground.  1 in trees edge forest, 5 - 20 ft up. One utters a couple of Song phrases 
Apparently alone Although (as usual) I can hear other birds in trees not very far away.
12:30 pm While eating lunch, I see that there is a single Cy [[red X]] Singing 
[[margin, in red]] Cy [[/margin]]
20 -35 ft up in scattered trees in clearing. Songs as usual. Also 1 pair [[underlined]] scanthocephala, [[/underlined]] and 1 adult [[underlined]] heinei [[/underlined]]. All birds fly from tree to tree at irregular intervals. Sometimes 2 species will be in trees only 15 - 25 ft apart from one another. [[underlined]] But it is quite obvious that no species is paying attention to any other. [[/underlined]]
Absolutely no tendency to follow or jam one another. 
See single Sooty Thrush alone. 1 ft up second growth scrub.
I shouldn't be at all surprised if the mixed flocks here were in process of "devolution" because the breeding season for a lot of species has begun or is just about to begin! 
NOTE: According to the CVC man who is cooking for me - and who seems to be thoroughly familiar with this area - the Sooty Thrushes here congregate into large bands (apparently of their own species alone) at the height of the rainy season (April - May). This would seem to confirm some of my earlier observations elsewhere. 
1:45 pm. See [[male symbol]] [[underline]] Turdus serranus [[/underline]] 30 ft up in tree edge clearing
Then Sooty Thrush supplants ---> [[underline]] serranus [[/underline]]! Also hear lots small birds in adjacent tall trees. Catch a few glimpses of them. Group certainly includes some small woodcreepers (Probably same species as in Central Cordillera - light throat and superciliary). Also, apparently, Red Woodpecker!
