7:45 am. While looking for diglossini, I have seen more Orange-bills, [[underlined]] bonariensis [[/underlined]], [[underlined]] gayi [[/underlined]], "Diucas", and Red-caps alone.

It is now cloudy. Fairly cold. No wind.

SEE TODAY'S NOTES ON MIXED DIGLOSSINI.

As far as mixed flocks are concerned, this morning's observations did nothing but confirm my impressions of yesterday. [[underlined]] Organized [[/underlined]] mixed flocks (of my species) simply do not occur in this environment.

NOTE: This area, Ovejuyo, is probably about 20 KM from La Paz (proper). The garden area which I have been identifying as "in lower La Paz" (or "in Obrajes") is really exactly halfway between La Paz and Obrajes.
