8:02 a.m. 3225 m. See mixed flock. In tree, probably second growth,

[[margin, in purple]] I [[/margin]] 20 – 25 ft up. Tree in midst thick low second-growth scrub. When first seen,

[[margin, in green]] 5 [[/margin]] there are 2 or 3 ^[[checkmark, in green, followed by a 1 in purple]] [[underline]] Pseudospingus verticalis [[/underline]], 2 ^[[2 checkmarks, in green, followed by a 2 in purple]] Firebellies (1), and ^[[3 ,in purple]] 1 ^[[checkmark ,in green]] Sooty Thrush

[[margin, in purple]] HO [[/margin]] [[margin, in green]] 6 [[/margin]] in this tree. All within 10 ft of one another. Then I see there is also ^[[4, in purple]] 1 ^[[checkmark in green]] Yellow-faced Whitestart. All fairly quiet. Some "CN"s. Then the [[underline]] Pseudospingus [[/underline]] fly into a tree 40 ft away. In mature tree standing isolated in scrub. They apparently are [[underline]] not [[/underline]] followed by Firebellies, Sooty, or Whitestart! Then this pseudospingus ft and the mature tree. 30 – 60 ft up. Quiet. And now, I see there are

[[margin]] Cy [[in red, followed by]] 8 [[in green]] [[/margin]] 2 ^[[2 checkmarks, in green]] Cys (definite) with them. One Cy apparently juv. (dull blue in color, but with apparently complete mask). Difficult to say who was leading whom. Cys silent

[[margin, in green]] 9 [[/margin]] or uttering only "CN" type notes. A Single White-bearded flycatcher ^[[checkmark ,in green, followed by 6 ,in purple]] j [[image: right arrow]] group. But then disappears immediately. Then the [[underline]] Pseudospingus [[/underline]] fly back to first tree. Can't see if they are accompanied by Cy(s) or not. By this time the Firebellies, Sooty, and Whitestart seem to have disappeared. I have also lost sight Cys. [[underline]] Pseudospingus [[/underline]] remain visible for a while; then I also lose sight of them. This flock certainly did not appear to be very coherent. And it certainly did not make progress in any given direction during the period it was under observation.
        Incidentally, just about the time the flock "melted away", the rain started again, gently.

[[margin, in red]] 6 [[/margin]]        going on down hill, see several (more) Sooty Thrushes and White-bearded flycatchers alone.
