uite a lot of bird noise. 6:08 am.  Both Yellowfaces and possible Slate-throats still Singing quite frequently.  Song overlaps are [[underlined] actually [[/underlined]] not uncommon, altho still [[underlined]] relatively [[/underlined]] rare.  Different individual Yellowfaces certainly [[underlined]] are [[/underlined]] overlapping one another.

A single thrush, presumably Sooty, flies by above.

See single [[red checkmark]] Yellowface singing 30 ft up in tall tree second growth "woods".  NODWA.  Apparently alone 6:23.

[[left margin, in red]] 19 20 [[/left margin]]

A single [[red checkmark]] Blue & Black moves thru low scrub edge pasture. 2 - 3 ft up. Quiet. Alone.  Then, 100 ft away, see single Yellowbelly, same bird similar scrub.  Also [[red checkmark]] apparently alone.

Then catch glimpses of a couple of olive birds, 8 - 15 ft up, in general area where Yellowface(s) are singing.  Apparently joining or following Yellowface(s).

CORRECTION: A few yards further down path.  Edge USF.  6:45.  There are two of the same "Atlapetes" singing in trees about 100ft apart.

[[/underlined]] Songs of Slate-throats here are
