[[circled]] 121 [[/circled]] 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. August 15, 1965 Purace 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". [[margin, in red]] 12 [[/margin]] 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.
