[[Circled]] 52 [[/Circled]]

[[left margin in red]] Gen [[/left margin]]

NOTE.  There seem to be [[underlined]] remarkably [[/underlined]] few hummingbirds here now.  Presumably because flowers also are scarce.

[[left margin in red]] 26 [[/left margin]]

12:47. 8160 ft.  See pair [[2 red, 2 blue, 2 pencil checkmarks]] [[circled in blue]] 24 [[/circled]] of Yellowbellies.  18ft up in second growth trees.  Noisy.  But [[underlined]] definitely [[/underlined]] alone ([[underlined]] Yellowbelly behavior seems essentially the same in all regions! [[/underlined]] )

Light rain starting 12:55

1:10 pm.  Just below 7900 ft.  See another mixed flock.  Includes at least [[1 green, 1 blue checkmark]] [[circled in pencil]] 1 [[/circled]] 1 Yellowbelly, [[2 blue, 2 pencil, 2 green checkmarks]] [[circled in pencil]] 2 [[/circled]] 2 BCBT's, [[1 blue, 1 pencil, 1 green checkmark]] [[circled in pencil]] 3 [[/circled]] 1 PL Atlapetes, [[2 blue, 2 pencil, 2 green checkmarks]] [[circled in pencil]] 4 5 [[/circled]] 2 flycatchers of different species, [[2 blue, 2 pencil, 2 green checkmarks]] [[circled in pencil]] 6 [[/circled]] 2 large (and largely green) [[underlined]] parrots. [[/underlined]] All in trees 15-30 ft up.  Fairly close together but rather quiet.  Parrots fly off, but [[underlined]] nothing follows. [[/underlined]]

Rain stopping 1:17 pm.  Then starts again

1:22.  Same area.  Same group.  Group really is [[underlined]] quite [[/underlined]] large.  Also includes at least [[1 green, 1 blue checkmark]] 1 Blue & Black and [[1 green, 1 blue checkmark]] 1 [[underlined]] Tangara nigroviridis. [[/underlined]] also in trees.

Group as a whole still coherent.  But not [[underlined]] going [[/underlined]] anywhere.  And apparently without definite leadership.

Then I have to move on 1:25 pm.  Rain [[underlined]] very [[/underlined]] heavy.

Back to station 1:30 pm.

COMMENT: The fog and rain today didn't have any very noticeable effect on Allogregariousness.  Neither obviously stimulating nor obviously depressing.

MORE COMMENTS:
There seems to be greater seasonal variation in Allogregariousness here than in all or most of the other regions which I have worked.  Why?  Is this characteristic of "intermediate" regions???

There are relatively few brightly colored gregarious tanagers here, and relatively many olive-yellow birds of the [[underlined]] Basileuterus - Hemispingus - Chlorospingus [[/underlined]] type. Why?  Why are such species as the GT and the Big Buthraupis apparently absent? The envir
