forest. So the fact that I have not seen mixed flocks inside the lower altitude forests is not necessarily
significant. But it should be noted that this morning, inside the forest ca 8300 ft, bird sounds seem to be
scattered throughout fairly evenly. Not absent in some areas, and very abundant in others, as would be
expected if all the birds were gathered in group.)
II My observations today and yesterday would suggest that there may be some degree of special preference(s)

among Yellow-faced Whitestarts, Yellow-bellies, Blue-Blacks, and Cys. Not surprising, in view of the color
patterns of the species involved. All are blue and/or black above, with yellow-below in two cases.
III Re the Sooty Thrushes. It is my impression that they do [[underline]] not [[/underline]] tend to "scatter"
flocks, when they do join them, in the same way as the Panamanian species of [[underline]] Turdus [[/underline]].
IV The area right above Purace, where Aters and Scans are common, in 40 km from Papayan. The area where I

work, where Lafs, Aters, Cys and CC's (and Cinnamons and Green VIII hummingbirds) all occur, is 51 KM from
Papayan. The highest altitude area, where Black and Whites occur, is 54.5 KM from Papayan The area where the
big mixed flock has been seen yesterday and today, and where the Albi was seen, is 73.5 KM from Papayan.
The relative low altitude area near Tijeras is 79.5 KM from Papayan.
