Going to work in area where [[underlined]] Agriornis - Pipreola - Tangara nigro-viridis [[/underlined]] seen yesterday morning. Arrive 5:30 am. Just getting light. Cloudy.

SEE TODAY'S NOTES GENERAL MIXED FLOCKS

Arrive area where last big mixed flock (with Laf, Sitti, and Cy) seen yesterday. Cloudy. No rain. Just below fog level. 9:30 am

^[[Albi]] Then see [[underlined]] [[male symbol]] Albi [[/underlined]] with flock. Obviously largely same flock seen yesterday, in almost exactly same place, but it does not, apparently, include Laf, Cy, or Sittis.

^[[Albi Laf Cy]] My observations this morning do not prove that this [[male symbol]] Albi's territory or range overlaps those of the local Laf or Cy, but they do indicate that it is at least adjacent (borders meeting) to the latter.

^[[Laf Albi]] According to my recollection, this is the first time I have seen Lafs and Albis in same area and environment.

^[[Albi]] Incidentally, the area in which this Albi was seen was very similar to some of the environments inhabited by Albis on Munchique and elsewhere. Scrub under or very near large trees. Tree "cover" would appear to be [[underlined]] indispensable [[/underlined]] for Albis. Why? They do not seem to make much obvious use of trees. (Probably no more than [[underlined]] carbonaria s.l. [[/underlined]]
