[[circled]] 94 [[/circled]] [[left margin in green]] 77 [[/left margin]] trees now are one [[underlined]] Red Woodpecker [[green checkmark and purple 4]] [[/underlined]] and at least one Brown squirrel!!! Both woodpecker and squirrel ca. 20 ft up. In nearby scrub, [[left margin in green]] 82 [[/left margin]] are at least three [[underlined]] rufinuchas [[3 green checkmarks and purple 5]] [[/underlined]] and two [[underlined]] [[2 green checkmarks and purple 6]] B. nigrocristatus. [[/underlined]] Close together [[underlined]] B. nigrocristatus [[/underlined]] repeatedly f [[right arrow]] [[underlined]] rufinuchas. [[/underlined]] And [[underlined]] rufinuchas [[/underlined]] repeatedly f [[right arrow]] [[underlined]] B. nigrocristatus. rufinuchas [[/underlined]] ranging from ground - 2 ft up. [[underlined]] B. nigrocristatus [[/underlined]] 1-3 ft up. [[left margin in green]] 84 [[/left margin]] Also with group are a pair of [[underlined]] Oecthesa [[2 green checkmarks and purple 17]] [[/underlined]], ranging all levels 1 - 20 ft up in both trees and scrub. Group as a whole quiet now, except for Cy, which is still singing from time to time. [[left margin in red]] Cy [[/left margin]] Going to move up hill along path, to another area 8:05 am. Good heavens! Life does get complicated here. Only a few hundred yards further on. [[left margin in purple and green]] XIII HO 89 [[/left margin]] 8500ft. 8:10 am. Come across [[underlined]] another [[/underlined]] mixed flock. A group of birds first seen in low thick scrub (including lots of bamboo). At least 1 [[green checkmark]][[underlined]] rufinucha [[/underlined]] and 2 [[2 green checkmarks]] Yellowfaces. Some [[2 green checkmarks]] Yellowbellies in small trees 50 yards away. Yellowbellies j [[right arrow]] group of [[underlined]] rufinucha [[/underlined]] and Yellowfaces. This group gradually moves uphill. Quite coherent. All birds close together. Very noisy Yellowfaces sing. NODWA. Yellowbellies utter a great variety of loud sounds. As group gets closer, I see that there are [[underlined]] at least four [[/underlined]] [[2 green checkmarks]] Yellowbellies in it. [[left margin in green]] 71 [[/left margin]] All adult. Obviously divided into two pairs. Some probably hostile chasing back and forth - but not as much as one might, perhaps have expected. (To my recollection, this is the largest group of Yellow-bellies I have ever seen.) All birds ranging 2 - 4 ft up. [[left margin in green]] 92 [[/left margin]] Also, as group gets nearer to me, I see that there is a [[underlined]] Red [[green checkmark]] Woodpecker with it [[/underlined]]. What it was doing in scrub, I don't know. But it
