See another [[underlined]]P.gayi[[/underlined]] alone. Then see another thrush (probably same species as before) alone

Where are the [[underlined]]bonariensis[[/underlined]]??

Going down toward Stream 5:00 pm

See another single Orangebill alone. Then another thrush (same species) alone. This individual looked quite big & brown.

See another Orangebill alone.
Nothing more. Coming back up hill to A Carbo area 5:30 pm

[[margin in red]] Carbo [[/margin]]
Hear what are probably CC or Carbo songs

Two Diglossas fly by. Apparently Carbos. Apparently hostile chase. But silent. In B Carbo area 5:48 pm

Then one of these Carbos flies into scrub. Feeds on peculiar shaped yellow flowers (like fringed sweet-peas). Silent. The other Carbo also flies into same bush. Lands about 4 ft away. No "Greeting" or Landing Call of any sort. This second Carbo also feeds on yellow flowers. Then flies away into conifer. First Carbo follows (pursuit?). Still both birds silent. After this they shuttle back and forth between scrub & conifer. Always silent. Once one bird supplants the other. 

[[margin in red]] Carbo [[/margin]]
As far as I can tell, in this light, both birds are pure Carbo. One, at least, may have trace of light superciliary. Is this typical of Carbo???

None of the birds here seem to be breeding now. No song of any kind by anything-except the very few diglossine phrases heard earlier.

I wonder why Atlapetes spp. are so rare in the southern Andes? Is it merely that they originated in the north and haven't had time to spread yet?
