^[[34]] scrub edge of road. Possibly [[underlined]] nigrocristatus. [[/underlined]] Loud SHN's. Disappear immediately. Then Humberto Alvarez sees tanager in tree 40 ft away. Possibly Blue & Black. Silent. Flies off. [[underlined]] Probably [[/underlined]] was [[underlined]] not [[/underlined]] associated with the [[underlined]]Basileuterus[[/underlined]]-types.

Very cold and windy now. 

Then go on at least 5 miles further down road. Reach area 8100 ft 8:15 am.

^[[Cy? 35]] Catch glimpse of what is probably Blue ^[[checkmark]] Diglossa, probably Cy, flitting thru thick low scrub near pines. Silent and alone.

Everything very quiet. And there seem to be remarkable few birds of any species around! (See comments below).

Back to first area 9:15. Still cold and windy.

^[[Albi 36]] Alvarez catches glimpse of [[female symbol]] ^[[checkmark]] Albi in thick scrub. About 15 yards from where Coer seen earlier. Silent and alone.

Hummingbirds still vocalizing.

^[[Albi Coer 37]] 9:30 am. See single [[male symbol]] ^[[checkmark]] Albi. Silent and alone. In bush 2 ft up. [[underlined]] Between [[/underlined]] 2 sites where Coer (certainly same individual Coer) seen earlier this morning. I.E. There [[underlined]] is at least some territorial overlap of the two species here. [[/underlined]] NOD while the Albi is visible. Albi flies away almost immediately

^[[Albi? 39]] Seen coming out 9:50. And there is a burst of Albi-type ^[[two checkmarks]] R's in the neighborhood. No other diglossine audible or visible at the time.

^[[Albi]] Albis seem to be [[underlined]] quite [[/underlined]] common here.

^[[Coer]] Then Albis fall silent. A few minutes later, hear single Coer phrase in distance. Then Coer shuts up.

^[[Albi 40]] Then see single [[female symbol]] ^[[checkmark]] Albi, 1 1/2 ft up in thick scrub. Silent and alone.
