[[circled]] 18 [[/circled]] [[margin, in red]] Albi? 1 [[/margin]] 6:08 Catch brief glimpse Black Diglossa [[check mark]] [[red check mark]]. Silent. Apparently alone. Feeding clusters small yellow tubular flowers 6 - 10 ft above ground Species almost certainly Albi. Less noise now 6:12 6:15 am. Pass thru an area which [[underlined]] sounds [[/underlined]] as if it contained a lot of birds. Certainly [[underlined]] B. nigrocristatus [[/underlined]]. But all the birds are keeping [[underlined]] well [[/underlined]] undercover. 6:40 Hear what sounds like Firebellies in distance! [[margin, in purple]] I HO [[/margin]] SEE ALSO TODAY'S NOTES ON MIXED DIGLOSSINI. 7:15 Come across [[underlined]] huge [[/underlined]] mixed flock. Containing at least 20 birds! In region of extremely varied, obviously humid, vegetation. Tall trees, bushes, lots of trailing bamboo. I certainly didn't [[margin, in blue]] 2 [[/margin]] identify all the birds; but I did see the following: two [[two check marks]] [[two green check marks]] [[insert,circled]] 1 [[/insert]] White-spectacled Whitestarts (definitely identified - white spectacles conspicuous - yellow foreheads - presumably [[underlined]] albifrous [[/underlined]] - same as near Merida). [[margin, in blue]] 7 [[/margin]] 2 [[two check marks]] [[two green check marks]] [[insert,circled]] 2 [[/insert]] [[underlined]] Pyneola riefferi [[/underlined]]. 1 [[check mark]] [[green check mark]] PL [[insert,circled]] 3 [[/insert]] Atlapetes (definitely not pair) 2 [[two check marks]] [[two green check marks]] Green [[insert,circled]] 4 [[/insert]] [[margin, in green]] 11 [[/margin]] Toucanets (not seen well enough to identify species); several [[two check marks]] [[two green check marks]] [[insert,circled]] 5 [[/insert]] hummingbirds [[two green check marks]] [[inserts,circled]] 6 7 [[/inserts]] [[margin, in red]] Albi? [[/margin]] [[margin, in green]] 12 [[/margin]] and flycatchers; 1 [[check mark]] [[green check mark]] [[insert,circled]] 8 [[/insert]] Black Diglona (probably [[male symbol]] Albi); at least [[margin, in green]] 14 [[/margin]] 1 [[check mark]] [[blue check mark]] [[underlined]] Cnemoscopus ruburosrtis [[/underlined]]; at least 1 [[check mark]] [[green check mark]] tanager [[insert,circled]] 10 [[/insert]] XXIII, which I identified last year [[margin, in green]] 20 [[/margin]] as [[underlined]] Hemispringus atropileus [[/underlined]]; and [[underlined]] at least 6 [[six check marks]] [[six green check marks]] [[insert,circled]] 11 [[/insert]] leaf-scraper-like furnariids (LXXXI). Also 1 brownish squirrel. The furnariids LXXXI definitely were passive nuclear! (First furnariid I have seen play this role, I think). Forming at least the "central" group. Sometimes in lead; sometimes apparently not. [[margin, in red]] Albi? [[/margin]] (Perhaps comparable BCBT's in Chiriqui). The Black Diglona was seen only briefly. Probably only joined [[right pointing arrow]] group once. The Green Toucanets just joined rear of group once, sat there, and di
