[[circled]] 6 [[/circled]]

lets up a little. Until finally it is so light that I decide to take a walk. Start out 4:50 pm. Going in a [[underlined]] different [[/underlined]] direction. Along "highway" leading up hill from Station.

Almost immediately, see group of [[underlined]] 3 Sooty Thrushes. [[/underlined]] Usual species. In low second growth scrub bordering "pasture" (actually a field cleared for a future pine plantation). Moderately noisy. Lots of "PN"s. But definitely alone.

5:10 pm. Just a few yards further up. See a pair of Bright [[two checkmarks]] [[insert]] 36 [[/insert]] [[insert,in blue]] 1 [[/insert]] Ruddy Flycatchers. Uttering R's. And fly catching.

[[left margin in blue]] 4 [[/left margin]]

Perching 2" - 6 ft above ground. A single Whitestart [[checkmark]] [[insert]] 37 [[/insert]] [[insert,in blue]] 2 [[/insert]] CXXVII j [[right arrow]] Bright Ruddies. Then Whitestart disappears. Leaving flycatchers [[two checkmarks]] [[insert]] 6 [[/insert]] apparently alone.

Rain getting heavier again.

5:35 pm. A few more hundred yards along road. Low second growth scrub along edge, backed by USTF further back. See pair [[two checkmarks]] [[insert]] 39 [[/insert]] [[insert,in blue]] 1 [[/insert]] of birds. One is fly catching, from the [[underlined]] ground, [[/underlined]] while other is flitting thru scrub 6 - 10 ft up.

These birds are peculiar. At first I thought that they were Slate-throated Whitestarts. but now I think that they are "Brown Whitestarts," CXXX. (SEE BELOW). They move on. But immediately 

[[left margin in red]] Albi [[/left margin]]

I saw a single [[male symbol]] [[checkmark]] [[insert]] 40 [[/insert]] [[insert,in blue]] 2 [[/insert]] Albi, just across road, 2 - 4 ft up. And then 2 [[two checkmarks]] [[insert]] 42 [[/insert]] [[insert,in blue]] 3 [[/insert]] Cheek Atlapetes, 1 - 2 ft up, only a few yards away. One bird adult, the other juvenile (this would suggest that breeding season is [[underlined]] just over [[/underlined]]) Then see [[insert,in blue]] 4 [[/insert]] [[checkmark]] [[insert]] 43 [[/insert]]  single Whitestart CXXVII, 4 ft up in scrub. And then 2 [[two checkmarks]] [[insert]] 45 [[/insert]] [[insert,in blue]] 5 [[/insert]] large woodcreepers (not same species seen earlier), 6 - 20 ft up trunks large trees 10 - 25 ft away.
