See 1 ^[[1 check mark above]] or 2 Whitetarts, apparently alone, thick second growth [[underlined]] Correction [[/underlined]]: they seem to be the vanguard of a mixed flock Group also includes at least one [[underlined]] B. nigrocristatus [[/underlined]] -type, one ^[[1 check mark above]] other (larger) bird

Then rain comes down in buckets!

Rain eventually stops. Get a little bit of sunshine.

See a pair blackish brown thrushes alone. 4:30

Then come across same mixed flock as before. Almost same place. Flock was quiet before, but now noisy. In bamboo thicket where it is almost impossible to see the birds. There is also at least one ^[[1 check mark above]] Orangehead with group now.

Group seems to be making almost no progress.

4:50. Catch brief glimpse (and sound) of a ^[[2 check marks above]] pair of [[underlined]] Buthraupis [[/underlined]] uphill in trees virgin scrub. At least ^[[1 check mark above]] one Firebelly and one ^[[1 check mark above]] Whitestart in nearby trees. Apparently moving around together.

Then downhill, 500 yds away, see ^[[1 check mark above]] single Orange-head low second growth. Uttering loud "CN"s Moving uphill, in direction of [[underlined]] Buthraupis [[/underlined]] - Firebelly flock. Can't tell if it joins or not.

Some distance further on, see ^[[1 check mark above]] single ^[[circled 1]] Ocetheca Same species as on road to [[?]]. Across the road from the flycatchers, are a pair of ^[[circled 2, 2 check marks above]] Whitestarts. All in second growth. Aha! There is ^[[circled 3]] a ^[[1 check mark above]] Firebelly with the Whitestarts. Also 1 of those little ^[[circled 4, 1 check mark above]] streaked flycatchers with recurved crest. Possibly some other then go in thickets. Whitestarts f. -> flycatcher with recurved crest.

5:33 pm. Come across mixed flock second growth scrub & bamboo very near town. Includes at least ^[[1 check mark above]] 1 [[underlined]] nigrocristatus [[/underlined]] (just a trace of black on forehead), 1 ^[[1 check mark above]] adult Orange head, 1 ^[[1 check mark above]] juvenal Orange head. Adult Orangehead f -> [[underlined]] nigrocristatus [[/underlined]]. All quiet. All picking insects off leaves.

A few more single thrushes
