- 5 ft above ground. Whitebeard stays in trees, 12-30 ft up. All other species visit [[underline]] both [[/underline]] scrub & trees, i.e. 2-30 ft up. [[underline]] Yellowfaces consistently in lead. [[/underline]] Precedence of other species varies. Group as a whole moving. Lots of "CN"s. R's by a tree-creeper. Two Song
phrases by Yellow-faced Whitestart. Group also [[underline]] coherent [[/underline]]! 
5:05 pm Ca 9700 - 9800 ft. [[underline]] Lots [[/underline]] of Sooty Thrushes flying around alone in pasture full of (still erect) dead tree trunks. 
5:10 pm Ue 75 ft. See pair of [[underline]] H. atropilens [[/underline]] in bamboo scrub edge path inside forest. 3 ft up. Utter "CN"s. Apparently alone (altho there are other birds in tree tops 50 yds away).
9500 ft 5:25 pm. Area where forest very diffuse flock seen this afternoon. See single Yellow-belly edge scrub & forest. 3 ft up. Uttering "CN"s. Apparently alone. But certainly there are other birds around in trees. 
[[margin, in red]] Cy [[/margin]]
There see single [[male symbol]] Western Tanager, 1 Cy, and 2 [[two check marks]] Sooty Thrushes, [[underline]] all close together, [[/underline]] in tree 30 ft away. 15 - 30 ft up.
[[margin, in red]] Brun Cy [[/margin]]

overlapping here. And the 2 species apparently are ot separated by rigid stratification. [[underline]] Bruns seem to be comparatively arboreal here. [[/underline]]
5:32 Hear Cy Song phrase in distance. Long formless Twitter with little or nothing in way of Intro Notes .
Arrive back at the Fisica 5:45 pm.
COMMENT: Mixed flocks would appear to be as common here as in other parts of the Western Cordillera. [[underline]] Perhaps [[/underline]] they are, on the [[underline]] average [[/underline]], somewhat less coherent here than in other parts. But this is a point which must be checked by further observation. In any case, if true, the greater diffuseness here could easily be explained by a
