[[margin in red]] Myst [[/margin]]
songs because their breeding seasons are different and they only sing during the breeding season?

(I presume that the second bird involved in this incident was a Myst, altho I saw in only in flight. Dark, obviously [[underlined]]Diglana[[/underlined]].

The sun has been shining almost steadily for almost an hour now 9:00 am. Helps to explain why Diglonnies have been so inconspicuous.

Still another Whitestart singing 9:10 am.

9:25. See a group of at least 5 ^[[5 black check marks above]]Bauleuterus; presumably XLI, moving thru low open scrub. Definitely alone Uttering lots of single "Tseet" Notes No trace of rattles.

Noticed that in one of the birds only the first 1/3rd of the crown was blackish.

If there should be two sibling species of [[underlined]]Bauleuterus[[/underlined]] of this type here (which I [[underlined]]very much [[/underlined]] doubt), then these last birds may have been examples of the second type. (Actually, if there is another species like XLI around anywhere, I expect that it is lower down, on the road toward Chulumaru[[?]].)

NOTE: In case I did not make it clear above, the Blue and Chestnut Cones were seen in an area of low but rather thick scrub interspersed with occasional small trees. Little or nothing in the way of the red and pink flowers favored by [[underlined]]Diglona [[/underlined]].

As a result of observations today and yesterday, it may be possible to make a partial summary of the probably roles of the species occurring mist frequently in the "mixed warbler" flocks (above Unduavi). As follows:
