away as soon as the [[underlined]]Pseudospringus [[/underlined]] approached. I. E. Whitestarts may be reluctant to join flocks when in Singing mood. But then, about 2 minutes later Whitestart definitely j --> [[underline]] Pseudospringus [[/underlined]]. 20 ft up in tree. Whitestart does not Sing while with group. Or at least not when [[underlined]] very close [[/underline]]to other birds. Now I see that there is a pair of Whitestarts with group. Definitely Yellow faced. Every once in a while, one or both Whitestarts makes a short side excursion, to other trees 20- 30 ft away from group. One or both Whitestarts do(es) tend to Sing while away on there excursions. 
[[margin, in green]] 9 [[/margin]] A pair [[insert 2 green check marks]] [[insert, in purple]] 4 [[/insert]] of Sooty Thrushes joins group. But only very briefly. And I think only because they want to "mob" me.
Now the [[underline]] Pseudospringus [[/underlined]] seem to be in lead. In any case, it is obvious that they form the "real" nucleus of group. By far the most conspicuous members of the group. But group as a whole is slightly less noisy now, 6:30, than earlier.
It is clouding up rapidly now
[[margin, in red]] Sitti [[/margin]] [[margin, in green]] 10 [[/margin]] A single Sitti [[insert 1 green check mark]] [[insert, in purple]] 5 [[/insert]] j --> [[underline]] Pseudospringus [[/underlined]]in tree 15 ft up. Sitti is silent. And it immediately flies down into lower scrub.
Group passes out of sight 6:40 a m.
Then catch up with part of it a few minutes later. In low second growth scrub interrupted by patch of pasture marsh. This bunch of birds includes 2 or (more probably) 3 [[underlined]] luteovirides [[/underlined]]. [[underlined]] Certainly [[/underlined]] the same individuals seen earlier (I have been able to hear them continuously). 3 - 4 up. Also [[margin, in red]] Cy [[/margin]] [[margin, in green]] 11 [[/margin]] 1 Cy, [[insert 1 green check mark]] [[insert, in purple]] 4 [[/insert]] only 1 ft from the warblers. Feeding on red berries. Then the Cy flies to a branch a couple of feet away. Perches 4 - 5 ft up. Sings repeatedly. All song phrases perfectly typical of the species in this region. Cy doesn't seem to
