Sun gone again 8:16. Now it looks like rain. Everything very quiet
[[margin, in red]] Laf [[/margin]]
See a couple more single Lafs alone, in low thick scrub, at different sites.
And still more Sooty Thrushes alone. 
Going uphill along path again 8:45 am
[[margin, in red]] 106 [[/margin]]
A pair of Firebellies [[two red check marks]] flies by alone 9:03
Everything is quite remarkable dead here now. Rather surprising. It is cloudy and cool, with some wind;
but not [[underlined]] very [[/underlined]] cold or windy. 
Oho! 9:05 Fog coming in. (Can the birds here "anticipate" fog and wind? I rather think so.)
[[margin, in red]] 107 [[/margin]]
See single Synallaxis [[red check mark]] alone (not rufous species)
Fog passes fairly rapidly. Then sun tries to come out again. Now there are a few more bird noises. 
Going down hill again. 
Leaving 9:30 am. 
COMMENT: A thought has just occurred to me. Perhaps the fact that the birds in mixed flocks here (and 
elsewhere in the northern Andes) are much more [[underlined]] variously [[/underlined]] colored, on the
whole, than the birds in mixed flocks in Bolivia is evidence that the fauna of the Northern Andes is
younger than that of the Southern Andes???

Purace - Tijeras
Going much further along road from Purace to Tijeras and Neiva. Road now going [[underlined]] down [[/underlined]] the other side of the mountain (other side from where I have worked before). This is
the eastern side, but it [[underlined]] also [[/underlined]] would appear to be the [[underlined]] wetter [[/underlined]]
