[[circled]] 3 [[/circled]] [[circled]] 41 [[/circled]] ly not gregarious. This area looks quite humid. I am rather surprised not to have seen more birds. Go on past Unduavi for a short distance, along road to Coroico. Fog in again. Scrub moderately thick 10,500 ft. Probably Diglossas around, but I can't see them. Go a little further along the road 10,650 ft. 8:05 am There is a species of [[?]] here. Apparently with yellow on crown. ^[[1 check mark above]] 1 or 2 individuals flitting about in scrub. Apparently associated with other ^[[2 check marks above]] small birds, but I couldn't see the latter [[margin in red]] CC [[/margin]] 8:30 am. Suddenly run across a mixed flock. Possibly the same one noted immediately above, but several hundred yards further down the road. Moving thru scrub 2 - 15 ft above ground. Probably didn't catch all members of the group. Included at least one ^[[1 check mark, circled 1 above]] Whitestart, XXXIX (this may have been the same bird or the same species noted about--my earlier observations were so brief that I could easily have made a mistake); at ^[[circled 2 above]] least ^[[3 check marks]] 3 "Orange-heads", XL; 1 ^[[circled 3, 1 check mark above]] warbler or tanager XLI; and ^[[circled 4]] one [[underlined]] ^[[1 check mark above]] CC [[/underlined]]! The Whitestart [[underlined]] appeared [[/underlined]] to be leading most of the time; but this appearance may have been deceptive--in much the same way as in the case of the other Whitestarts in Chiriqui. It was certainly followed by the Orange-heads, at least occasionally; but I think that they may well have been the "real" passive nuclear species of the flocks. [[margin in red]] CC [[/margin]] I think that the CC joined this flock only after I had been watching the group for some minutes. In any case, it was eventually [[underlined]] chased and supplanted three times by one of the Orange-heads!!! [[/underlined]]
