Group as a whole [[underline]] very [[/underline]] coherent.  Moving rapidly along on both sides of road.

It is just [[underline]] barely [[/underline]] possible to recognize two slightly different associations within the flock.  A "scrub sub-group" and a "tree sub-group."  [[underline]] Most [[/underline]] birds in each sub-group tend to stick pretty much to the "preferred" level of other sub-group.  But the two groups are not very well segregated "micro-geographically", insofar as any individual of one sub-group may be nearer to an individual of the other sub-group than to the nearest other individual of its own sub-group.

[[left margin]] Sitti WCC Cy [[/left margin]]
"Scrub sub-group" includes all the [[underline]] Hemispingus [[/underline]] and [[underline]] Basileuterus [[/underline]] spp., the Yellowfaces, [[underline]] the Sittis and WCC's [[/underline]], the [[underline]] Cy [[/underline]], and the Synallaxis-like furnariids.  Also the Blue & Orange!

Most individuals of their sub-groups range 1 - 15 ft up in very diverse scrub on one side of road. Sittis and WCC's probably averaging higher than the others.  Both Yellowfaces [[underline]] and Cy [[/underline]] come down to the ground at least once.

The "tree sub-group" includes GT, Yellowbelly, Big Buthraupis, [[underline]] Cnemoscopus [[/underline]], and tree creepers.  All or most individuals in their sub-group ranging 10 - 35 ft up.

The PL and the [[underline]] Dubusia [[/underline]] range from high to low, throughout the usual ranges both sub-groups.

Group does not have "regular" or "persistent" leaderships. [[underline]] Advancing on a very, very broad front!!!! [[/underline]] Sort of "beating" the whole area.  Almost every species slightly in advance of the others, at one time or another.

Written the "scrub sub group" however the Whitestripes and/or [[underline]] H. atro-pileus [[/underline]] probably are in the lead [[underline]] slighty [[/underline]] more frequently than all
