[[ circle]] 61 [[/circle]] are about 20 - 30 ft away at the time, fly over to j ^[[right arrow]] PL - Whitebeard - Little Striped - Cy group. Flock is "crystallizing" rapidly. Cy continues to sing vigorously. All phrases rapid twitters preceded by 4 "Tsit" intro notes. [[underlined]] And all NODWAH [[/underlined]]. PL j ^[[right arrow]] Little Striped Flycatcher. 7:20. Flock birds still around. But rather quite and unconspicuous. Group apparently not very coherent now. Then I see single Yellowbelly in general neighborhood of group. Yellowbelly flies off. [[underlined]] Nothing follows. [[/underlined]] Flock seems [[underlined]] very [[/underlined]] diffuse now 7:25. Yellowbelly flies back into area; but doesn't land very close to any of the other birds. [[underlined]] Does good weather [[double-underlined]] dis [[/double-underlined]] courage mixed flock formation here, while bad weather [[double-underlined]] en [[/double-underlined]] courages it [[/underlined]]? (If so, it would be [[underlined]] another [[/underlined]] indication that mixed flocks are highly developed in this particular area.) 7:30. Now all the flock birds seem to have gone from area. Probably they have drifted up hill. Presumably together. But probably as a very diffuse, and quiet, group! Going downhill myself. See single Sooty Thrush, silent and alone. 20 ft up in AS. Then Single Cy appears 6 - 12 ft up in scrub 30 ft away. Sings repeatedly from different perches. NODWAH. Also apparently quite alone. SEE ALSO TODAY'S NOTES ON MIXED DIGLOSSINI 7:45 am. There does not seem to be any group now where second mixed flock was seen yesterday. Then I go for a walk along road. Nothing where third flock seen yesterday 8:05 am. 8:15 am. Some considerable distance down road. 8750 ft. Region of thick, rather diverse, not very tall [[circled]] VSU-AS [[/circled]]. Come across large mixed flock. Includes at least 3 PL Atlapetes, 2 yellowbellies, 2 Blue & B
