[[circled]] 75 [[/circled]]

[[margin, in red]] Brun [[/margin]]
far as I can tell, the mixed flock is some distance away by the time the Brun (re) appears and sings. No other diglo[mne?] (or hummingbird) was visible or audible during Brun Songs. Brun only stays a minute and then flies off.

[[margin, in red]] Brun Scan XII [[/margin]]

  NOTE:  Some minutes earlier, I saw a Brun (presumably same individual) in bush that was visited by Scan and hummingbird XII I.E. [[underline]] the territories of these 3 species are at least partly overlapping. [[/underline]]

  NOTE:  There were several Acorn Woodpeckers flying about in the same general area when the mixed flock was visible. But they did not seem to pay any attention to the mixed flock, and none of the members of the flock seemed to pay any attention to them. (I.E. the Acorns here probably behave like the other members of the same species near Munchique).

 2:08 pm. Only a few feet further on, see single [[underline]] B. [[checkmark]] nigrocristatus[[/underline]] Presumably same individual seen earlier. But now apparently alone feeding in bushes edge forest 8 - 10 ft up. Silent.

  2:10 pm. A few feet further on. Come across pair Yellow [[2 checkmarks]] - bellies [[2 checkmarks]] 20 ft up in tree feeding on small green fruit. Uttering CN's. Acorn [[2 checkmarks]] Woodpecker j----→ Yellow bellies. Then Acorn flies away. Yellow bellies do not follow. Then Sooty Thrush j----→ Yellow bellies! (This reaction quite definite. Thrush lands only 6 ft from tanagers. Then birds disappear from sight.

  I think that this group may be associated with PL - [[underline]] nigrocristatus [[/underline]] seen earlier. If so, flock as a whole is [[underline]] very diffuse. [[/underline]] 

  There apparently are some other birds in nearby tree tops. Probably members same flock. Uttering "CN"s.
