in trees above them.  [[underlined]] But none of these species shows any tendency to follow any other. [[/underlined]] All separate and go their separate ways almost immediately !!!

Incidentally, I am now almost certain that [[underlined]] at least some of the "Slate-throat-like songs" heard this morning were uttered by the B. luteoviridis-types [[/underlined]]!!!  The seem to utter very Slate-throat-like short series descending notes.  [[underlined]] But [[/underlined]] these often are preceded by typical [[underlined]] Basileuterus [[/underlined]] R's.

(Nevertheless, I am quite [[underlined]] certain [[/underlined]] that there [[underlined]] are [[/underlined]] Slate-throats around here.  I saw at least 1 individual, alone, 20 ft up in small tree, earlier this morning.)

The altitude here is 7600 ft.

See a couple of Firebellies fly overhead.  Alone.  Uttering "PN"s.

Going to start up hill 7:15 am.

7:25 am.  A few hundred yards up path.  7675 ft Hear [[underlined]] B. luteoviridis [[/underlined]] types in scrub some distance away. Also hear [[underlined]] nigrocristatus [[/underlined]] nearby.  And see a single White-beard and a single Cy ([[underlined]] not [[/underlined]] together) flitting about in trees, 10 - 20 ft up, not far away.  All or most of these individuals amost certainly the same as the individuals seen more or less together down hill earlier.  Thus, it seems likely that this group really [[underlined]] is [[/underlined]] a mixed flock.  But, if so, [[underlined]] it is remarkably diffuse. [[/underlined]]

(Again) the Cy and the White beard go off apparently in different directions!

7:45 am.  Still hear White-spectacled songs and Albi R's from time to time.  Not overlapping.

7:55.  Further up.  See pair [[underlined]] B. nigrocristatus [[/underlined]]. Noisy but apparently alone.  3 ft up in second growth tangle.
