[[margin,red]] Cy [[/margin]] up through new growth. Obviously essentially alone. (Altho the thrushes, [[margin,red]] Humer [/margin]] Cy and Humer certainly are in same neighborhood, it is obvious that none of the species is really reacting to any other.)

7:05. Hear Dubusia Songs further down the road. Far away.

Going down in this direction myself.

8:45 a.m. For the last hour, I have been walking around the area where a big mixed flock is usually seen. I see a lot of Diglossas (described elsewhere). Also a lot of Sooty Thrushes alone.And I have heard some Firebelly sounds. But that is all! Has the flock been "suppressed" by the cold today??? (Incidentally the vegetation at this particular site seems essentially unchanged from my previous visit.)

No sooner said than done! I start back up road. And immediately

come across flock. 9:02 a.m. Includes "permanent" nucleus [[margin,red]] Cy [[margin,purple]] HO [[/margin]] of 1 Blue & Orange, 1 Cy, 1 Euipidonax-type, and 2 PL's. Moving through both burned and unburned scrub. First 3 species ranging 6 – 12 ft [[margin,green]] 11 [[/margin]] up. PL's ranging from ground to 4 ft up. PL's occasionally noisy. Other birds quiet. Cy utters 1 Song phrase (completely overlapping Laf – see 
[[margin,red]] Humer[[/margin]] description elsewhere). There also is 1 Firebelly with group, [[underline]] but only 
[[margin,red]] Laf [[/margin]] for a few seconds or minutes. [[/underline]] group also was escorted by 1 Humer, and 1 or 2 Lafs, for at least several minutes. (The black Diglossas with group are difficult to follow well, because group arrived just in the middle of a complicated series of encounters between Lafs, and between Laf (s) and Humer – see description elsewhere.)

The Blue & Orange was in the lead of this group all or most of the time. The PL certainly brought up the rear guard [[underline]] all the time. [[/underline]] The "order" of the species acro
