I am rather pleased about this. It all goes to support the hypotheses is that all or most Andean species show much the same amount of gregariousness in both the breeding and non-breeding seasons.

March 3, 1964
Nr. Unduavi

Going to work below Unduavi this morning. Same place where I watched most of the Bruns and Orangeheads, and saw-Cys, and saw a [[underlined]] cyanocephala [[/underlined]] copulation, during my last visit.

Arrive 5:58 am. Still very dark. Heavy cloud. Some patches of fog.

[[margin in red]] Brun [[/margin]]
Hear first bird sounds. All or most by thrushes, 6:17 am. Then some R's in distance. Orange-heads? Little or nothing in the way of terminal flourishes. Then hear what may be rapid, even, twitters by Brun. Phrase after phrase with very brief intervening pauses.

Then several presumed Bruns singing. Wide overlaps between songs of different individuals. then shut up.

Dawn Chorus in general [[underlined]]very [[/underlined]] weak 6:28 am.

Then hear Whitestart. Nothing else singing at same time.

See several single thrushes alone.

A little more Whitestart & Brun song. Not overlapping.

Can hear [[underlined]] A. torquatus [[/underlined]] same place as last time.

Group includes at least 1 ^[[1 check mark above]] Orange head, and 1 ^[[1 check mark above]]of what appears to be BCBT (grayish brown cap?, white hear eye, yellow on breast) Quiet. Only a few CN's.
