[[left margin]] Albi Nocti [[/left margin]]
Group relatively stationary for at least 15 minutes. Difficult to tell who was in lead. The Synallaxis and the Bright Ruddies appeared to lead for a while; but then the rest of the group stopped following them and went in another direction. Once, the Local Yellowbelly definitely f → the ♂ Albi. But otherwise all a "jumble." Birds as a whole quite close together.

The Synallaxis ranged low and high 1-2 ft up in scrub, 6-10 ft up in trees. The creepers ranged 6-15 ft up in trees. Empidonax types 10-15 ft in trees. Bright Ruddies approximately the same. Sooty Thrush seen only in scrub apart from trees, 2-3 ft up. Zonotrichias about the same. Hummingbirds in and above trees 10-30 ft up.
[[left margin]] Albi [[/left margin]]
Both Whitestarts seen only apart from trees, 4-10 ft up in lusher scrub. Atlapetes seen only low, 1-6 ft up, in both scrub under trees and apart from trees. Albis seen both in trees and scrub apart from trees, 2-12 ft up. 
[[left margin]] Nocti [[/left margin]]
Yellowbelly seen only in scrub apart from trees, 4-6 ft up. Nocti about the same.
