can hear what may be Bruns in distance.

^[[margin, in red]] Brun [[/margin]] Further up hill see a ^[[1 check mark above]] single Brun alone.

This area looks very much like some of the areas in the Bogotá region, Surprising, as it is lower in altitude (I think)

^[[margin, in red]] Brun [[/margin]] See same Brun again alone. Feeding on white flowers.

^[[margin, in red]] Gen [[/margin]] Lots of hummingbirds around here.

^[[margin, in red]] Brun [[/margin]] 3:07. See another single Brun alone 8700 ft.

Reach approximately 9:00 ft, the crest of the ridge, 3:25 pm. Path goes along thru dense thicket, taller than my head. Almost impossible to see anything. [[underline]]Warm[[/underline]].

3:31 See a single ^[[1 check mark above]] Black & Blue Tanager feeding in thick scrub, 5 ft above ground. Looks just like Black & Blues seen in north, but I notice that this bird has an opalescent green tinge to head & nape. Probably other birds with it. See it again a few minutes later, possibly alone.

3:47. Keep on going further, more or less horizontally. Dead quiet. (Thinking it over, there was really quite a lot of noise near that Black & Blue. Possibly [[underlined]] was [[/underlined]] a mixed flock.)

4:10. See a pair of that mountain cotinga (Gray with rufous [[nuchal?]] crest - the one I have seen many places before. Apparently alone.

No red tubular flowers around here.

Up to 9125 ft 4:35. Still quiet as the tomb. Starting down hill.

I certainly don't think that anything much can be breeding around here. Finally see some pink tubular flowers with holes in them.

Still above 9000 ft, see pair of mountain cotingas alone.

^[[margin, in red]] Coer [[/margin]] Here, almost same place, 4:57, see single Diglossa. Either [[underline]]coerulesceus[[/underline]] or (less likely) juvenile some other species. Dull gray blue (quite blue), darker
