[[circled]] 43 [[/circled]]

[[underlined]]onatus [[/underlined]], a ^[[1 check mark]] dark ^[[circled 13 above]] bird (probably PL), ^[[2 check marks above]] 2 ^[[circled 14 above]] wrens of another species, and something that looks like the "^[[1 check mark above]]CC-^[[circled 15 above]]like" CXIV!!!

Flock is now fairly stationary and quiet. Obviously still highly integrated.

7:48. Now there is a loud fight between 2 of the "BCBT"s!

Cy is eating green fig-like fruits.

Now I see that there also is a [[underlined]] ^[[1 check mark, circled 16 above]] Delothraupis [[/underlined]] with group. ^margin in red [[WCC]] [[underlined]] And a [[male symbol]] ^[[1 check mark, circled 17 above]] Blue-capped WCC [[/underlined]] (definite). Picking insects off leaves in tangle 6-10 feet up in usual [[Underline]] [[?]][[/underline]] style. And a single, ^[[1 check mark, circled 18 above]] large, gray-headed rufous Guan is attracted to group! And a small ^[[1 check mark, circled 19 above]] nondescript hummingbird!

7:59. And now I see that there is a single [[underline]] ^[[1 check mark, circled 20 above]] Pheucticus [[/underlined]]  with group. Same species seen yesterday. 10 ft up in trees.

NOTE: As far as I can tell, none of the species is showing any particular preference for any other. [[underlined]] All [[/underlined]] are close together.

8:05 Group seems to be disappearing. Presumably drifting uphill.

COMMENT: [[underline]] This certainly is the most varied flock I have ever seen!!![[/underline]]

Are gallinaceous birds "normal" members of mixed flocks, under natural conditions??? This is the only area I have ever worked where gallinaceous birds have not been "shot out". And I have now seen [[underlined]] two [[/underlined]] species with flocks.

COMMENT: Rather surprisingly, in view of the very [[underlined]] high [[/underlined]] development of Allogregariousness here, there is [[underline]] no [[/underline]] "general color scheme" common to a large proportion of the species involved. Noth
