Once the Whitestart made a long flight from tree to tree. [[underlined]]Everybody[[/underlined]] (including the Fire belly) followed! Then, a few minutes later, the flock as a whole went off in one direction, while the Whitestart went in another. this time nobody followed the Whitestart!

[[margin in red]] Sitti [[/margin]]
The Setticy[[?]] was never near the front of the flock.

Most of the birds were quiet. Only CN's. But the Whitestart sang repeatedly at regular intervals. Song [[underline]]very[[/underline]] diglossine. Consisted of 2 or more identical phrases. Each phrase conuieca[[?]]:
"Tsa tsa tsa wee ^[drawing of rising and lowering scale]"

This flock was near the 50 KM marker. May well be largely the same flock in which I rdy[[?]] Ferru & Sitty[[?]] before.

9:28. Pair of Firebellies ^[2 black check marks above] fly overhead Uttering "Seeeeeet"s. Alone.

I forgot to mention that one of the Orange heads in one of the mixed flocks observed this morning uttered loud "Zeet" Notes. CN's?

Leaving 9:33.

As a result of this morning's observations, I think that the Coral Whitestart (XXXIX) and the Bl & Or Stripe are probably breedi
