[[left margin in red]] 44 [[/left margin]]

Hear Albi type R's in dense scrub, 7:04. But then see that they are uttered by a small flycatcher. Alone.

[[left margin in red]] Laf 45 [[/left margin]]

See another Laf about 7:20. Low scrub edge highway.

7:35 See single [[red checkmark]] PR Atlapetes. Silent and alone. On ground and very low in young sparse second growth between highway and mature scrub.

[[left margin in red]] Laf [[/left margin]]

Lafs still singing from time to time. No other Diglossini audible. Whitestarts also quite silent.

Then see single Sooty Thrush alone. 10 ft up small tree. Silent

[[left margin in red]] 46 [[/left margin]]

7:50 See single [[red checkmark]] Firebelly. 10 ft Thick mature scrub. Alone.

Rain still continuing, but sun is starting to shine through clouds.
[[left margin in red]] Laf [[/left margin]] At the same time - and probably not coincidentally - Lafs are singing more frequently. Still no other diglossinis or Whitestarts audible.

There is one aspect of Laf behavior in this whole region, now, which I have forgotten to mention. [[left margin in red]] Laf [[/left margin]] The Voices of the Lafs here are thin and "reedy". The notes of their Songs could be described as having a faint "rattle undertone". Most audible the Yellow-faced Whitestarts. The notes of their Songs are clear and full. This is one of the best distinguishing marks between the Songs of the 2 species.

[[left margin in red]] 47 [[/left margin]]

See another single [[red checkmark]] Firebelly alone. In flight.

Well well well! Definite mixed flock. Go up hill. Reach area, 32 - 60 m. 
[[left margin in green]] 55 56 [[/left margin]] [[left margin in purple]] IX [[/left margin]] Edge of mature forest with lots of tall trees. See [[green checkmark]] single Blue & Orange feeding in tree 10 - 25 ft up. [[underlined]] Followed [[/underlined]] by [[green checkmark]] [[purple]] 2 [[/purple]] single Firebelly. Ranging at same heights. Birds usually 15 - 25 ft apart. Silent. Blue & Orange certainly picking insects off leaves. Firebelly apparently not feeding. Then a whole group of birds appear. All close together. Moving thru scrub of medium height (this scrub is partly burned). In direction of trees. Apparently following Firebelly and
