[[circled]] 5 [[/circled]] [[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. [[left margin in red]] Laf [[/left margin in red]] It is also [[underlined]] very [[/underlined]] windy today! See another single thrush alone. [[left margin entry in red]] 2 [[/left margin entry in red]] 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"]] [[left margin entry in red]] 6 [[/left margin entry in red] 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
