October 30, 1962

Arrive same place as yesterday afternoon (6700 ft.) 5:20 am Still fairly dark.

[[margin]] Albi? Bari [[/margin]]  Hear songs that may be by [[underlined]] carbonaria [[/underlined]] 5:30 am. Might be transcribed as "Duh duh duh zreeeeee yoo."  Also an occasional Albi song. Inserted in pause of [[underlined]] "carbonaria" [[/underlined]] songs.

If there are really [[underlined]] carbonaria [[/underlined]], the birds are surprisingly common here.

Also hear several more Albis singing occasionally. Alternating quite well with [[underlined]] "carbonarias" [[/underlined]].  Only occasionally very slight overlaps

[[margin]] Bari [[/margin]] Some [[underlined]] "carbonaria" [[/underlined]] songs might be transcribed as "Zee zee zee z [[underlined]] reeeeeeeee [[/underlined]] za-ya"

[[underlined]] "carbonarias" [[/underlined]] about given up 5.45 Just as it is starting to get light!!  Albis continuing.

6:00 am  I have a nasty feeling that the [[underlined]] "carbonaria" [[/underlined]] songs heard this morning were uttered by an [[underlined]] Atlapetes [[/underlined]].  At least, I can hear
