shes in scrub. 12 - 30 ft up. [[underlined]] Pseudospingus  [[/underlined]] and [[underlined]] Buthraupis eximia [[/underlined]] alternating in lead. Yellowfaces, Yellowbelly, Firebelly, and [[underlined]] Dubusia [[/underlined]] all follow [[underlined]] repeatedly. [[/underlined]] Firebelly definitely j ------>[[underlined]] eximia [[/underlined]]. Group as a whole noisy. Yellowfaces fighting among themselves! Also Whitebeards fighting among themselves!

There [[underlined]] does [[/underlined]] seem to be a [[underlined]] lot [[/underlined]] of intra-specific hostility in the mixed flocks of this region. 

There [[underlined]] may [[/underlined]] also be a single Blue & Orange with this group. [[left margin]] Sitti [[/left margin]] [[underlined]] Dubusia [[/underline]] and Sitti seem to form the "rear guard" - at least part of the time. But they are not particularly close to one another. 

As far as I can tell, there are no particularly close associations of any sort - no special inter specific preferences - within this group. All birds ranging 3 - 25 ft apart.

[[left margin]] Ater 18 [[/left margin]]

As flock moves by, fairly high in trees, a single adult [[green checkmark]] [[in purple]] 9 [[/in purple]] Ater appears briefly in bush below the other birds. Silent Only visible for a moment. I don't know if it follows the other birds or not.

7:05 Same flock back. Retracing its steps. Still coherent. Still moving rapidly. Still noisy. Lots of [[underlined]] Pseudospingus [[/underlined]] chatter. Lots of [[underlined]] Dubusia [[/underlined]] Song. Lots of Yellowface SHN's.

[[left margin]] Sitti 20 [[/left margin]]

Now I see that there are at least 3 [[underlined]] Pseudospingus [[/underlined]] with group, 2 Sittis, at least 2 [[green checkmark]] [[in purple]] 10 [[/in purple]] Blue & Orange Tanagers, and [[green checkmark]] [[in purple]] 11 [[/in purple]] 1 [[underlined]] PL Atlapetes. Also [[two green checkmarks]] [[in purple]] 12 [[/in purple]] 2 Red Woodpeckers! [[/underlined]]

[[left margin]] Sitti [[/left margin]]

[[underlined]] Pseudospingus [[/underlined]] and/or [[underlined]] eximias [[/underlined]] still in lead all or most of the time. But now the rearguard seems to be composed of Yellowfaces, Blue & Oranges, and the PL as well as the [[underlined]] Dubusia [[/underlined]] and the Sittis. The PL and Blue & Oranges also are following -----> the grou
