Abstract
Although mixed flock has been widely studied in various locations elsewhere, very little information was reported from Indonesia. This study was aimed at re-discovering the mixed-flocks that were reported existed in Gunung Gede-Pangrango National Park three decades ago. Transects between 1,600m and 2,400m with 200 m interval were surveyed for 50h in Gunung Putri Resort. Flock size, composition, dominance and sighting probability were calculated. Five mixed flocks were re-discovered in the study site (probability 0.10), decreased in number compared to previous research (probability 0.57). The flocks were found between 2,000m and 2,300m asl, consisted of 9 species, averaging 39.6 individual birds (ranged 9-11 birds) and. Blue Nuthatch, Mountain White-eye and Little Pied Flycatcher were dominant and always part of every flock member. Ashy Drongo and Lesser Racquet-tailed Drongo could play role as flock leaders.
