Made no resistance.  But probably left the flock shortly afterwards

The Orange-heads did not attack any other species. 

[[margin in red]] CC [[/margin]]
The CC may be very near the border of its range here.  Niethammer does not record it from the Unduavi area.  Possibly it only survives (or spreads) in this area by becoming dependent on others. It may well be primarily a communal of man in this area (see also Niethammer).

According to my taxi driver (of Niethammer again) the rainy season is December - April.  So all or most of the birds I watched today were presumably in full non-breeding condition, but will probably begin to show traces of reproductive behavior some time in the near future.

In these circumstances, it is remarkable that I saw only one mixed flock this morning.  General behavior perhaps comparable to that of the Cuzco birds - [[underlined]] granted [[/underlined]] the difference in seasons

Working below La Paz in the afternoon.  Reach one spot, scrub under eucalypts, 3:55 pm  11,550 ft

[[margin in red]] Carbo [[/margin]]
See a single [[underlined]] c. carbonaria [[/underlined]] ("Carbo") hopping in big beech about 10 ft above ground.  Silent.  Alone.  Apparently typical of the subspecies.  Same shape and size as other subspecies.

Going closer, I see that this bush has some tubular pink flowers in it

Now starting to pour rain.  So I return to the car.  Then rain gradually stops.

There are also some dark thrushes here Single birds.  Haven't identified species yet.

[[margin in red]] Carbo [[/margin]]
See another Carbo in low scrub, 2 ft above ground
