and diversely, colored a group as I have ever seen!

A minute later, I see single PR [[red check mark]] Atlapetes 6 ft up in scrub, 40 - 50 ft away from the flock.    This bird apparently does [[underlined]] not [[/underlined]] join flock.

Flock drifts away without my being able to determine who is leading

6:58  See single Firebelly [[red check mark]] alone. Silent. 10 ft up in bush.

A couple of minutes later, see single [[green check mark]] Firebelly in tree, somewhat different area.

Flies off.  But then a single Blue & Orange [[green check mark]] appears.  Following same route as Firebelly.[[underlined]] But 50 ft behind. [[/underlined]] Can't tell if it is really following the Firebelly or not.

I am going uphill again. 7:06 a.m.  Sun shining brightly and hardly a cloud in the sky.

[[left margin in red]] 60 [[/left margin]]

See a [[2 red check marks]] pair of Firebellies fly by.  Definitely alone.  Then see another Firebelly, 3 ft up in low scrub, just below where taller forest begins. [[red check mark]] Single and
alone.

Everything very quiet 7:30 a.m. Going down hill.

7:51 Walking along road.  See pair [[2 red check marks]] of PR Atlapetes in scrub. 3 ft up.  Uttering "Seeet" Notes. [[underlined]] One is carrying n.m.in bill! [[/underllined]]  This bird hops around the other. Doing some irregular bowing and pivoting.  Looking rather unritualized.  High place of bow is "upright", rather than St.  The bird being hopped around responds by uttering soft twitter ("Greeting") in high upright posture.  Then both fly away.  No other species showed any tendency to approach the R's during this performance.

So it would seem that some birds [[underlined]] are [[/underlined]] breeding here now!

8:10 See a [[underlined]] single Pseudospingus [[/underlined]] [[red check mark]] fly from tree top to tree top, 10 - 20 ft above ground.  Also across road.  Uttering PN - type Notes Looking for a flock to join???
