5:56. Some [[underlined]] Basileuterus [[/underlined]] and/or [[underlined]] Hemispingus [[/underlined]] type R's and Thrushes. Quite a lot of phrases in rapid succession. Uttered by at least 2 different individuals.

See single Sooty Thrush alone. On ground.

Then quite a lot more bird sounds 6:00am. Sounds almost as if flock were beginning to form - on both sides of road. Yes! See some sort of tanager or finch fly across road into scrub where [[underlined]] Basileuterus [[/underlined]] and/or [[underlined]] Hemispingus [[/underlined]] are vocalizing.

[[underlined]] Lots [[/underlined]] of birds vocalizing all along both sides of road. 

It certainly would appear that many of the birds [[underlined]] here [[/underlined]] are breeding now. (See comments below.)

Hear first Yellowface Songs 6:08. NODWA

Catch glimpses birds all around in both trees and scrub, without being able to identify any of them. But it is obvious that the flock - if one is really forming - has not "crystallized" yet. 

[[left margin in red, purple and green]] Sitti I HO 1-3[[/left margin]] 

Then see definite mixed group. At least 1 [[green checkmark]] Sitti and a [[two green checkmarks]] couple of [[underlined]] Cnemoscopus [[/underlined]] or [[underline]] Chlorospingus [[/underline]] 30 ft up in tree. And two [[two green checkmarks]] [[underlined]] Basileuterus [[/underlined]] or [[underline]] Hemispingus [[/underline]] 20 ft up same tree. All moving same direction. Sitti f ----> group.

6:20. 75 yds away, across road. See 2 [[two green checkmarks]] Big Buthraupis 20 - 30 ft up in trees. Other birds in near vicinity.

[[left margin in red and green]] Sitti 10 [[/left margin]]

Then see group at least 2 [[one green checkmark]] Sittis, 2 [[two green checkmarks]] tree creepers. 15 ft up. Yellowbelly j ----> group. Also others.

Sun coming out 6:25 am.

Birds are really [[underlined]] incredibly [[/underlined]] noisy now!

Lots of individuals seem to be converging, slightly up hill from road. Presumably including all or most species cited above. Also at least
