dication that most of local birds are not breeding. It may be simply that there were not many individual birds at the first site.  Once I got onto the side path this morning, I got a very different impression of the probable status of the birds.

Going to work along the same side path as yesterday.  Arrive 5:37 am.  Just starting to get light.  Partly cloudy.  Little wind. 

Already a few bird sounds in "bog" area where car is parked.

Arrive area where first big mixed flock seen yesterday 5:46 am.
Most sounds here now are thrush then hear [[underlined]] Basileuterus [[/underlined]]-type R's and Flourishes in distance  Everything rather quiet 5:55. [[underlined]] This cannot be height of breeding season for most of the local species! [[/underlined]]

First Yellowface Songs 5:58. NODWA. Quite a lot of phrases in fairly rapid succession.  There are at least 2 individual Yellowfaces singing.  Phrases of the 2 individuals [[underlined]] not [[/underlined]] overlapping.  Both stil NODWA. 6:03 am.
6:05.  See single Sooty Thrush alone. 25 ft up in tree above scrub. 

[[margin, in red]] 11 [[/margin]]

A single White-throated [[red checkmark]] Hummingbird appears briefly.  Alone.

No trace Atlapetes or Diglossa Songs yet 6:12. Does this mean that the Atlapetes and Diglossas seen here yesterday were here only because they were "attracted" to the flock?

6:16 Go along path a few yards. Reach area "bog scrub".

See single Yellowbelly [[red check mark]] 8 ft up in bush. There is at least 1 other bird in same bush; but I can't tell what it is.  Yellowbelly quiet.
