[[circled]] 64 [[/circled]] [[margin note in red]] Albi [[/margin note in red]] various sites. But I think that they were all uttered by such species as Ruddy Flycatchers, [[underlined]] Thlypopsis,[[/underlined]] etc. Albis do not seem to be "in voice" here now. Presumably not breeding. [[margin note in red]] Cy [[/margin note in red]] During the first 15 or 20 minutes of heavy rain, I heard a number of Cy and Yellow face Songs. [[underlined]] Not [[underlined]] overlapping. Then birds fell silent as rain continued. Rain stopped 7:50 am. Resuming observations 8:15 am. NOTE: As far as I could tell, there was no tendency to form mixed flocks during this rainy spell. But I was not able to see much. There [[underlined]] was [[/underlined]] an outburst of bird sounds [[underlined]] after [[/underlined]] the rain! Including lots of R's. [[underlined]] Thlypopsis [[/underlined]] ??? 8:25 am. Things in general are quiet. Still very cloudy. Some fog approaching. It is possible that many birds have been "sucked out" of the area with a mixed flock which I missed. Going further up hill. Along a different path from the one followed yesterday. [[left margin XIII and HO in Purple 100 103 Sitti105 108]] 8:45 am. 2800 m. Region of heavy forest. Not very high. With lots of scrub below trees. See another mixed flock. Group includes^ [[two check marks 1]] 2 Yellow faces, at least 1^ green check mark 2]] PL Atlapetes, at least 1 [[underline]]^ green check mark 3]] Basileuterus LXXX, [[/underline]] at least 1[[^ green check mark 4]] Sitti, several tree creepers[[^ 2 green checkmarks 5]] species seen before - light throat and superciliary) ] a pair of [[^ two green check marks 6]]flycatchers (species not seen before), and at least 1 [[ underline ]] H. atropileus [[/ underline]][[^ one green check mark 7]] The [[underline]] H. atropileus [[/ underline]] is in lead at least part of the time All birds ranging 15-30 ft above ground. Nothing in tree-tops Birds moderately noisy; but no Song. Although I know that there is some bamboo not far from here, there was none in the precise area where the flock was moving. As far as I could tell, this did not bother the [[underline]] atro-pileus [[/underline]]. I.E. the [[underline]] atro-pileus [[/underline]] here seem to be [[underline]] less [[/underline]] bamboo-loving than in some other parts of the Andes.
