[[circled]] 61 [[/circled]] [[underline]] atropileus [[/underline]] in this bamboo all morning. Members of flock certainly passed through and over this bamboo. They might be said to join ---> [[underline]] atropileus [[/underline]] [[margin, in red]] 6 [[/margin]] But then the flock moved on and across road. And apparently [[two red check marks]] the [[underline]] atropileus [[/underline]] did [[underline]] not [[/underline]] follow. Rain still continuing 7:10, but going to try to work again. Everything quiet now. Presumably most of birds "sucked out" with flock. Rain getting lighter 7:18. See single Sooty Thrushes alone. Go up road several hundred yards. See another mixed flock. Apparently largely or completely different from flock seen earlier this morning. First see [[margin, in purple]] XI HO [[/margin]] [[margin, in green]] 114 [[/margin]] pair [[two green check marks]] [[insert, in purple]] 1 [[/insert]] Yellow-faced Whitestarts in small tree one side of road. 5 - 20 ft up. Then [[margin, in green]] 118 [[/margin]] see 4 or 5 [[four green check marks]] [[insert, in purple]] 2 [[/insert]] of the All-Rufous Spinetails (apparently same species as in Eastern Cordillera and 1 PL Atlapetes) close together in very low scrub on other side of road. All ranging 6" to 2 ft up. Apparently feeding on insects. PL f and j ---> [[margin, in green]] 120 [[/margin]] Spinetails repeatedly. Then Whitestarts [[two green check marks]] [[insert, in purple]] 3 [[/insert]] j ...> group. Then more birds [[margin, in green]] 122 [[/margin]] appear, apparently following Spinetail-PL group. At least two [[two green check marks]] [[insert, in purple]] 4 [[/insert]] Yellow-bellies [[margin, in green]] 123 [[/margin]] And 1 [[green check mark]] [[insert, in purple]] 5 [[/insert]] Plush-capped Finch. In small trees 19 ft up. Plush-capped Finch f ---> Yellow bllies. Then whole group moves along road. Somewhere [[margin, in green]] 126 [[/margin]] along the way, they pick up 2 [[two green check marks]] [[insert, in purple]] 6 [[/insert]] [[underline]] B. nigrocristatus [[/underline]] and at least 1 [[green check mark]] [[insert, in purple]] 7 [[/insert]] [[underline]] H. atropileus [[/underline]]. At ifrst whole group, except the tanagers, remains in low scrub, both bamboo and "other" Sticking 1 - 8 ft above ground. At this time, the Yellow-faced Whitestarts [[underline]] appear [[/underline]] to be in lead. Flitting about conspicuously. But I am not sure that the [[underline]] real [[/underline]] leaders of the group are not still the All-rufous Spinetails, which are more or less hidden from my sight because they reamin low(1 - 4 ft up). Yellowbellies tend to remain 6 - 10 ft up in low trees; but once a Yellow-belly j ---> Whitestart in low scrub.
