[scru]b. Apparently alone.  Apparently largely Sooty Thrushes.

Reach approximate area where big flocks (WCC etc.) and Caciques seen yesterday 6:40 am. Everything rather quiet now. But there were a lot of all sorts of bird sounds just below this area a few minutes ago. Including Yellow-faces and Wrens.

6:45. Now hear Yellowface Singing a few phrases up here. No other Whitestart or Diglossine audible at the time.

6:50. Just as light rain starts.  Region fairly thick and high second growth where mixed flock seen second time yesterday. Single ^[[red check mark]] Whitestripe appears 6 ft up in scrub.  Definitely alone.  Discovers me. Starts to give lots of single SHN's. Very loud and hard. This immediately attracts hummingbirds. First species to arrive is moderately small, with a medium short straight bill. No X. Bronzy greenish above.  Buffy below. Dark cap (either brown or bronzy green). Prominent white streak behind eye, extending downward and backwards. Prominent dark patch (streak) on cheek, also extending downward and backward.
[[margin note in red]] X Albi 21 [[/margin note in red]] This dark patch or streak probably is dark brown. Tail fairly long. Slightly rounded. All or most tail feathers with terminal buffy patches.  Then a single ♀ [[underlined]] Albi [[/underlined]] is attracted to group. Flies in and lands about 1 ft from Whitestripe. Quite silent. [[underlined]] A hummingbird X makes repeated "inhibited" attacks on the ♀ Albi [[/underlined]]! Albi just moves away each time. (Most of the attacks are short forward rushes.  Not Swoops.) 
[[margin note in red]] X [[/margin note in red]] Then some more hummingbirds appear. 1 or 2 more X's. Also 1 or 2 individuals of another species.  Larger than X, with a larger straight bill. 
[[margin note in red]] XI [[/margin note in red]]  I shall call this XI. Largely dark metallic  green. With very conspicuous white chin and throat.  Also very conspicuous white sides to tail.
[[margin note in red]] Albi [[/margin note in red]] [[underlined]] One XI Swoops at ♀ Albi! [[/underlined]] Then ♀ Albi disappears.  Whitestripe and hummingbirds remain. 
[[margin note in red]] Cy [[/margin note in red]] 
Within a couple of seconds, [[underlined]] a Cy appears in [[/underlined]]
