The group also seems to have pucked up a Cy! [[green check mark]] [[insert, in purple]] 8 [[/insert]]
I see a Cy fly away from group, across road. [[underlined]] No one follows. [[/underlined]]
Until now, it has been raining quite heavily. But now rain stops temporarily. And group shows a tendency
to disperse. I lose right of the Spinetails, [[underlined]] Basilenterus [[/underlined]] and
[[underlined]] Hemispingus [[/underlined]]. Also the Plush-capped Finch. The Yellow-bellies and PL go up
hill, and into mature tree. Ranging 15 - 30 ft up. [[underlined]] And each species follows and joins the other 
repeatedly. [[/underlined]] Then they also disappear. 
[[margin, in red]] 8 [[/margin]]
The two Whitestarts [[two red check marks]] [[underlined]] remain behind [[/underlined]] Start to chase one
another. One terrific, tumbling, aerial fight. Then they fly away in the [[underlined]] opposite [[/underlined]] direction from the rest of the birds. 
Flock as a whole was moderately noisy. "CN"s and a variety of notes. Little or no "Song". (Cy certainly did 
not Sing while with flock.)
Before this flock disappeared it had entered, a hundred yards or so, within the area where I saw earlier big flock. I.E. the "territories" of different flocks overlap to some extent. More or less like Munchique!
Rain more or less stopped 8:15 am. But fog coming (back) in. 
Both rain and fog stopped 8:50. There is no increase in bird sound. See lots more Sooty Thrushes alone. 
[[margin, in red]] 10 [[/margin]]
9:12 See pair [[two red check marks]] of Plush capped Finches. Definitely alone. Moving thru low scrub & 
bamboo thicket edge of road. 2 - 8 ft up. Apparently getting insects off leaves (at least in the bamboo).
9:25 See group of birds uphill. In trees. More or less where second mixed flock disappeared earlier. 
Can't identify most of the birds (there is a patch

of fog up there). But group certainly includes 2 [[two green check marks]] Yellow-bellies. Then a single
