7:28. Go on several hundred yards. Can hear [[underlined]] B. luteoviridis [[/underlined]] again in distance uphill. Then a pair of [[2 red, 2 pencil and 2 blue checkmarks]] [[circled in blue]] 35[[/circled]] [[underlined]] cyanocephala [[/underlined]] fly up from downhill. Uttering "Seeeet" notes in flight. Then feed in low, sparse, scrub. [[underlined]] Possibly [[/underlined]] working their way up in direction of warblers.

Why are there so many more birds here today than yesterday??? It certainly is somewhat warmer (T [[degree sign]]) today!

7:37. See single [[1 pencil, 1 red and 1 blue checkmark]] [[circled in blue]] 36 [[/circled]] PL Atlapetes. In low scrub. Definitely alone.
Then see group [[4 pencil, 4 green and 4 blue checkmarks]] [[underlined]] chlorophonias [[/underlined]] again. [[2 checkmarks]] Whitestart is with them at first. But then it [[red checkmark]] flies away. The [[4 red, 5 blue and 4 pencil checkmarks]] [[circled in blue]] 41 [[/circled]] [[underlined]] Chlorophonias [[/underlined]] then fly off in another direction 7:48.

7:57. See [[1 pencil, 1 red and 1 blue checkmark]] single bird feeding top tall tree. Looks like [[underlined]] B. luteoviridis, [[/underlined]] but I am not sure that it is. Quiet. Not very chunky. Bill perhaps a [[underlined]] little [[/underlined]] longer than I think is typical of [[underlined]] Basileuterus. [[/underlined]] Is there a [[underlined]] Hemispingus [[/underlined]] species here with a [[underlined]] luteoviridis [[/underlined]] type pattern?????

In any case, this bird joins [[right arrow]] a [[4 blue checkmarks]] pair of PL Atlapetes. But the Atlapetes [[2 pencil and 2 blue checkmarks]] [[circled in blue]] 43 [[/circled]] soon fly on; and the puzzling [[1 pencil, 1 red and 1 blue checkmark]] [[/circled in blue]] 44 [[/circled]] bird does not follow.

[[left margin in red]] 43 45 [[/left margin]] 

This pair PL's goes on 50 ft or so. Then engages in vocal boundary dispute with another pair of [[2 pencil and 2 red checkmarks]] [[circled in blue]] 46 [[/circled]] PL's. Lots of R's. Dispute lasts at least a couple of minutes. But it does [[underlined]] not [[/underlined]] attract anyone else!

Fog coming in 8:00 am.

Everything very quiet now.

8:25. 2 [[4 pencil, 4 blue, and 4 green checkmarks]] pairs of PL Atlapetes still disputing. Mildly. Still quite vocal. 1 [[2 green and 2 blue checkmarks]] pair [[underlined]] B. luteoviridis [[/underlined]]-types f [[right arrow]] PL Atlapetes. The [[underlined]] luteoviridis [[/underlined]] types are silent. (Is this characteristic of "bush-warblers" when they are following rather than being followed???)

Fog lifting 8:30 am. In again 8:45. Clear again 9:00.

hard to say whether marks are blue or green--made somewhat arbitrary choice
