(4) July 16, 1974 Quisha Same place as day before yesterday. Polylepis. Oreomanes. Fog just lifting 7:55 a.m. Andean Sparrows, thrush, flycatchers where flock used to be. But flock apparently not here now. CORRECTION: Some or all of the birds that I called [[underline]] bonariensis [[/underline]] the day before yesterday are really the common highland Gray and Yellow Fuicles ([[underline]] gayi [[/underline]] ???) Species is common here 9:15 am. Drove along road to look at other small patches of Polylepis Little boys with slingshots. 10:05 "Hedge" large Polylepis edge town. Single cc feeding 6-8 ft up. Very tit - or nuthatch - like. Probing in bark. Sometimes upside down. Active. Uttering CN's. Apparently essentially alone; although there certainly are a variety of finches and perhaps flycatchers not far away in same hedge. [[marginalia]] Town = Ayapita [[/marginalia]] CC flies away. Apparently by itself. Then bark. Gleaning leaves as well as probing bark. Hear what sounds the Greeting Twitter. Are there 2 [[?cu'ds]] here?? Then CC(S) disappear(s) again. Back to Quisha 11:00 a.m. Stop 11:20 a.m. NOTE: Altimeter reads 13,730 along road back to town.
