less distinct than the "syllables" of the R, and the whole thing may also have been more nasal. These "Kreee"s occurred when one of the old birds (usually the red-banded bird, I think) approached the newcomer. Apparently not accompanied by ritualized postures or movements, and I was never sure exactly which bird was actually uttering the notes; but I think that they may have been hostile.

I saw several of these birds in the woods about half way up the mountain. A small flock, including 2 adults and 2 young in juvenal [[juvenile]] plumage (and, possible, a couple of other adults).

Feeding in much the same way as the related tanagers on BCI. Quite restless, but not so much so as Plains. The adults also seemed to relatively silent. The only sound I know was made for certain was a couple of "Trit" CN's given by an adult [[female symbol]] (or not-adult [[male symbol]] — the plumage was dull but not like the juvs.) just before flying away when I disturbed here. I think I also heard more of these notes in the distance where the whole flock was feeding on fruit or insects in the top of a tall tree.
