[[left margin in red]] Humer [[/left margin in red]]

Automobile goes by. PL flies away.  Shuts up.  Then I hear what sounds like Humer R-Zaza in nearby scrub.  Then catch another glimpse PL flying from bush to bush.  Definitely (still) alone.

Then hear Laf singing in distance 6:21.  First Laf heard this morning.

See another single thrush alone.

Single Black Diglossa flies by alone. [[red check mark above "Black"]]

6:32.  From time to time, hear Firebelly Songs in distance.

I get only occasional glimpses something (usually Black Diglossas, I think) flitting about low in scrub.  And [[underlined]] all [[/underlined]] bird song stopped by 6:45 am [[double check mark in red above "bird"]]

7:15 am.  Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if the usual mixed flock were beginning to be formed now.  I am catching lots of glimpses of (unidentifiable) birds in the area where the big mixed flock is usually se
