Walking back down road. 7:45. Above first Nocti area. Hear Scans singing downhill. NODWAH. Stop. Then hear Albi-type R. NODWAH.

7:55 am. Down by first Nocti area. See single [[checkmark]] [[insert,in pencil]] 55 [[/insert]] Cheek Atlapetes 1 ft up low scrub. Silent and alone. (This presumably is same individual seen with flock yesterday. Another indication that association of Cheeks with flocks is facultative.)

8:20 am. Down by "the flock" area. See a very large group crossing road. Partly, but not completely, same as group seen on earlier days. Today includes at least [[underlined]] 20 [[/underlined]] [[insert,in pencil]] 171 [[/insert]] [[insert,in blue]] 1 [[/insert]] "Plain Chlorophonias" [[underlined]] (CXXXII). [[/underlined]] (These are undoubtedly the same as

Group as a whole highly integrated. Yellowbellies and/or Cheek Atlapetes definitely in lead. Whitestart CXXVII definitely bringing up rear.

Vegetation here is very mixed. USTF trees and all sorts of scrub, as well as bare earth of road and embankment. The Chlorophonias stayed high in trees, 20 - 30 ft up. The Yellowbellies stayed in scrub and low trees, 3 - 10 ft up.
