Eastern Cordillera Colombia

Agua Bonita

Going to work in usual place, here, this morning. Arrive usual perching place (7550 ft according to my altimeter now) 5:25 am. Just starting to get light. Partly cloudy. Not too cold. 

[[margin, in red]] Albi? [[/margin]]
Quite a lot of miscellaneous bird Songs and other noises. Including R's. I can't tell if the latter are Albis
or not. In any case, NODWA 

5:36 am. First Whitestart Songs. Sound like Yellowfaces. Partly overlapping R's. 

[[margin, in red]] Albi? [[/margin]]
5:40 First Atlapetes Whistle Song. NODWA. Then Atlapetes shut up. Whitestarts and R's continue. Apparently overlapping at random. Then hear some [[underlined]] Basileuterus [[/underlined]] R's and Flourishes. [[underlined]] Certainly the breeding season here now!!! [[/underlined]]

[[margin, in red]] Albi? [[/margin]]
5:44 Whitestarts silent. R's continuing. 

The vegetation has grown up considerably since I was here last.

5:48. Hear what sound like [[underlined]] Atlapetes torquatus [[/underlined]] Whistles (in indeterminate Series). NODWA. But overlapping [[underlined]] Basileuterus [[/underlined]] R's at random. Then Yellowface Sings. Overlapped completely by [[underlined]] torquatus [[/underlined]] Whistles. Again

[[margin,red]] 1 [[/margin]] 
Then see [[underlined]] torquatus [[/underlined]] [[Check mark, overlaid with red checkmark]]3 ft up in tangle second growth vines. (I think I saw [[underlined]] torquatus [[/underlined]] same place a few months ago. Definitely alone. 

[[margin, in red]] 3 [[/margin]]
[[margin, in green]] 2 [[/margin]]
5:53 See pair [[two check marks]] [[two red check marks]] [[two check marks]] [[two green check marks]]
[[underlined]] Basileuterus [[/underlined]] 15 ft up in tangle of vines. Presumably [[underlined]] nigrocristatus [[/underlined]]. Very noisy. Lots of R's and Flourishes. Fly into Cecropia 
[[margin, in red]] 4 [[/margin]]
[[margin, in green]] 3 [[/margin]] 
where there is already a Whitestart. Presumably Yellow-face. 
[[margin, in purple]] I N [[/margin]]
This will have to be classified as [[underlined]] joining [[/underlined]]. 

There is a decrease in bird noises ca 6:01 am.

Sky is clearing now.
