[[circled]] 132 [[/circled]] August 17, 1965 Purace Going to work at a comparatively low altitude on the western (dry) side of the mountain this morning. Where Ater-Scan interactions, and mixed flocked including [[underlined]] A. rufinucha [[/underlined]], were seen a few months ago Arrive 5:15 am. Still dark. Cloudy. Little or no wind. Everything quiet. Some bird sounds ca. 5:22. Possibly some type of DC. Then silence. Then a variety of miscellaneous bird sounds 5:41 am. Then silence again. Then more sounds. Possibly some hummingbird(s) - although apparently not [[underlined]] Colibri [[/underlined]]. [[left margin, in red]] 11 [[/left margin]] 5:56. See single [[red checkmark]] [[underlined]] rufinucha [[/underlined]] singing. Perched 6ft up in small tree in sparse scrub. Apparently alone. [[underlined]] Song very differnet from that of the Quito rufinucha [[/underlined]]!!! Stretches of rather slow, whistled, chatter or Twitter, interspersed with real R's!!! NODWA Bird moves thru scrub. Uttering similar sounds at irregular intervals. Then I hear some Atlapetes Whistle Songs (without R) in distance. NODWA. Then Atlapetes shut up. 6:03 am. Hear a few Dubusia Songs. [[underlined] Exactly [[/underlined]] same place as a couple of months ago. Dubusia shuts up. Then a few more Atlapetes chatters.
