as, and 1 or (more probably) [[2 green, 2 blue, and 2 pencil checkmarks]] [[circled in pencil]] 2 [//circled]] 2 Inters. ^[[ Also 1 wren, like a house wren.]] Flitting about in tree, 10 - 30 ft above ground. Apparently all getting insects off leaves. Quite noisy. 

[[margin in red]] Inter [[/margin]]

Uttering lots of CN-type sounds. Once Inter j [[right arrow]] [[underlined]] luteoviridis. [[/underlined]] Once something attacks and chases Inter. I am almost certain the attacker is a [[underlined]] luteoviridis. [[/underlined]] Chase accompanied by loud R. But the Inter soon rejoins the group. Eventually, however, one or both Inter(s) fly(ies) off. 

[[margin in red ]] Inter [[/margin]] 

Not followed by [[underlined]] luteoviridis [[/underlined]]right away. But the warblers drift off and disappear a couple of minutes later. Can't tell if they go in same direction as Inter or not.

When this flock was first seen, there was also a montane cotinga in the same tree. But it ignored the flock and vice versa. The cotinga eventually flew off, and none of the other birds paid any attention.

There was also, however, a single squirrel with this flock. Its presence probably [[underlined]] not [[/underlined]] coincidental. On outskirts. Possibly following flock. Stayed around for a few seconds after the warblers disappeared, then disappeared too. Feeding on vegetable matter. Silent (Presumably squirrels associate with these insectivorous flocks in order to take advantage of the alarm reactions of the birds.)

The day before yesterday I saw a single squirrel not too far from this area. This animal definitely alone at the time. So squirrels are not obligate members of mixed flocks.

All squirrels seen here, this year and 1962, obviously members same species. Medium size. Round ears. Grayish brown above. More rufescent or buffy below and on inner sides of limbs. Distal third of tail blackish. Proximal two thirds largely rufous.

There is also a flock of goldfinches around here. To which no
