[[circled]] 9 [[/circled]] 

above, yellow below. Head striped. Crown largely olive, black or blackish in front. Prominent yellow superciliary. Dark streak thru eye. The crown was much less black than that of the [[underline]] B. nigrocristatus [[/underline]] near Quito (or that of the Peruvian [[underline]] nigrocristatus [[/underline]] I saw in the museum in Lima), but apparently somewhat darker in front than the [[underline]] B. luteoviridis [[/underline]] I saw in the museum. But I rather think that it must have been the latter. Probably not a juvenile because uttering lots of R's. R's sounded different from the one of [[underline]] nigrocristatus [[/underline]] near Quito (and probably Unduavi). Thinner and weaker, uttered with varying speeds. This bird was in the hedge of low scrub along edge cultivated field.
[[margin,red]] Brun [[/margin]]
  See single Brun alone.
  See single House Wren alone.
  6:58. See same [[underline]] Basileuterus [[/underline]] again. In similar hedge. Still alone. Crown in general looks same color as back. Still uttering relatively soft R's.
  See a single Thlypopsis XXXIII alone.
  See another single House Wren.
[[margin,red]] IV [[/margin]] 7:13 a.m. See what appears to be no. IV hummingbird or something similar. Feeding alone. This time I see that it has white spot behind eye. Presumably [[underline]] Metallura phoebe. [[/underline]] 
  7:40. Have gone up ravine along small stream. Lots of nice scrub that looks as if it should be full of my birds but does, in fact, seem to be deserted. Why? Too wet.
  Go on down stream again.
  See single House Wren alone.
[[margin,red]] IV? IV A? [[/margin]] Then see single Hummingbird perched alone and quiet. Definitely IV or IV A. Does [[underline]] not [[/underline]] have white patch behind eye.
  7:55. Starting to rain.
