12:34 pm.  A couple of hundred yards further on.  See [[2 green checkmarks]] at least one Yellow-belly in dense thicket.  Also there is at least one PL [[2 green checkmarks]] close by.  I can't tell if they are definitely associating or not.

10:50.  Reach high point reached yesterday 11,125 ft.

Fog coming in.

11:05 am.  See patch of forest which looks more optimal for many mountain tanagers & honeycreepers (e.g. [[underlined]] lafremayei [[/underlined]] ssp.) than any I have seen before.  In small ravine.  Lush Even includes at least one tree with pink flower (cup-shaped).  Apparently same species as tree the local Di
