ation or activity.
Up by edge tall forest 9:00 am. Nothing visible or audible.
Going down hill 9:06. Rain starting.
Hear Laf Singing in scrub right up at edge tall forest.
9:28 See single Firebelly (again). Definitely alone. 6 ft up in moderately tall, thick scrub. This is very close to where Blue & Orange seen earlier this morning. Firebelly just sitting quietly, about 1 ft under "canopy" of scrub. Trying to keep out of the rain?
COMMENT: It is possible that the Dubusia(s) here is (are) comparable to some others of the local species. I.E. less gregarious there than in some other parts of the Andes. "On its way" to becoming non-gregarious, as in the Quito region.
Working same place this afternoon as yesterday afternoon. Arrive 3:05 pm. Hot and "airless". Looks like storm coming up. Everything quiet.
Lots of Goldfinches around. Apparently same species as in Chiriqui.
3:18 See a single Slate-throated Whitestart alone. Fly catching low in scrub. Silent. 1 – 6 ft above ground. Then, in fact, I see that there is really a pair of the birds here.
3:28 See single Scan, briefly, in tree where BQ's seen yesterday.
But BQ's not around at the time.
Wind increasing 3:30 pm.
See pair cayana-ruficapilla. Alone. Silent. Top tree 20 ft up.
Have seen several pairs BT's alone. (Unfortunatelly, however, there are a lot of birds moving thru tree-tops from tree to tree which I can't identify So I can't rule out the idea that mixed flocks occur here.
3:55 See single [[male symbol]] Blue-capped Euphonia alone. 30 ft up in tree
