or thrushes.

I imagine that the principal reason why mixed flocks of my birds are so rare here is that the area is relatively (if not actually) dry. There is certainly some sort of positive correlation between humidity and frequency of mixed flocks of tanagers, etc.

Going to work this afternoon above Unduavi, where the Mysts were a couple of days ago. Arrive 3:25

Everything very quiet. Presumably still [[?]] true

Can hear a Firebelly downhill uttering "Tuh-uh-tuh-uh-uh-uh......."

[[Hush?]] a single Thrush here. 3:45. Apparently third species. Dark brown above. Apparently lighter below. Definite white throat & chin. Orange bill & legs. Yellow eye-ring. I shall call this the "White-throated Thrush"

Well well well!!! See a single ^[[1 check mark above]] Diglossa, [[underlined]] apparently pure Carbo [[/underlined]], feeding on cup-shaped pink flowers in small tree, 18 ft above ground. This is exactly the same species of the tree that I saw the Myst feeding in. And the tree is in exactly the same situation, in a ravine with very thick, dense, moderately tall, wet scrub on both sides. The bird is absolutely silent throughout. Disappears into thick scrub almost immediately.

[[margin in red]] Myst [[/margin]]
This site is certainly some distance from where I saw the first Myst. I [[underlined]] think [[/underlined]] that it is also at least 100 yds from where I saw the second Myst. If so, it is even farther (150 yds) from where I saw a Brun the day before yesterday.

[[strikethrough]] CORRECTION: The site is no more than 50 yds from where I saw the second Myst. Possibly equally close to where I saw the Brun. [[/strikethrough]]

Still nothing much 4:23. It is overcast but dry today. I wou
