As far as I could tell, the PL's and [[underlined]] rufinuchas [[/underlined]] definitely were [[underlined]] not [[/underlined]] associating particularly closely with one another - at least most of the time.

After some minutes, the Atlapetes spp., quieted down. Finally apparently shut up entirely, except for "PN"s and/or "CN"s. At which point, the Yellowfaces uttered  a few more Song phrases!  Then also shut up.  Then I heard one Brun R-Zaza. But neither the Brun(s) nor the Cy Sang at any time.

The Plush-capped Finch showed a definite tendency to stick to bamboo (Viz the birds of the same species seen elsewhere in Nothern Andes.)

7:20 am. Same area.  Most of the flock seems to have disappeared.  But some of it seems to have remained behind.  [[underlined]] Two [[2 green checkmarks]] [[/underlined]] Yellowbellies and [[underlined]] three [[three green checkmarks]] B. nigrocristatus, [[/underlined]] and at least one Whitestripe! This is some sort of dispute among the [[underlined]] B. nigrocristatus [[/underlined]]. Aerial chase. Yellow belly f [[right arrow]] [[underlined]] nigrocristatus [[/underlined]].  All birds visible now 1 - 3 ft up. In both bamboo and other scrub.

Perhaps these birds are bringing up the "rear guard"??? If so, perhaps one or both of the Atlapetes spp. are (or were) in lead???

Then these birds disappear.  Then see single [[red check mark]] Cy not far away. I.E Cys here [[underlined]] may not [[/underlined]] follow mixed flocks over long distances like the Cys at Munchique.

7:45. Only a [[underlined]] few [[/underlined]] feet down road.  Now I see that all or most of the large mixed flock is still here or has come back.  Some birds are in trees edge scrub.

I.E. yellow-bellies, [[2 green checkmarks and purple 1]] , Cy [[green checkmark and purple 2]] and [[underlined]] White-stripes [[2 green checkmarks and purple 3]] [[/underlined]]. All 15 - 25 ft up.  Not close together, 10 - 15 yds apart.  Also in same
