but very thick scrub right at edge road. Group includes 2 [[two green check marks]] Black & White, 1 [[green check mark]] PR

[[underline]] Atlapetes [[/underline]], 2 [[two green check marks]] [[underline]] B. nigrocristatus [[/underline]], all 2 - 4 ft above ground. Black & Whites in lead. 
[[underline]] B. nigrocristatus [[/underline]] at rear, [[underline]] definitely following repeatedly [[/underline]]. All birds quiet. Only occasional "CN"s. Black & Whites fly across road. Start to move in opposite direction, back the way they came. The PR does not cross the road immediately
but it does turn around and follow a course parallel to that of the Black & Whites.
In the course of this doubling back, PR j ---> [[underline]] rugrocristatus [[/underline]]. But then
it goes right on past them. Eventually, it screws up its courage and flies across road, presumably to join Black & Whites. The [[underline]] nigrocristatus [[/underline]] apparently do not follow.

Going to work in first area visited here (the area where there is a great variety of Diglossini and hummingbirds). Arrive 5:38 am Just starting to get light. Cloudy. Not too cold. 
Thrush and Andean Sparrow noises as usual. 
Seeing this area once again, after working in the other area, I am struck by the differences between the vegetation of the two areas. In this place, almost everything (except the forest uphill) obviously in second growth. No trial real alpine scrub. This area could be described, in one sentence, as a whole series of patches of second growth, of very  different size and charact
