ese phrases were uttered when Scans were silent or, at least, comparatively quiet.

I have yet to hear any Albi Songs here (altho the local [[underlined]] Tiaris [[/underlined]] are uttering R's quite frequently). At least some of the [[underlined]] Tiaris [[/underlined]] R's overlap Scan "Chuck" Songs.

Aha! 8:15 See single Scan fly thru area where Cy was seen earlier. No diglossie around at the time. A few minutes later, [[male symbol]]  Albi appears, in exact same area. Feeds on tubular red flowers, in usual diglossie fashion (i.e. [[underlined]] this [[/underlined]] is the species which made the holes seen earlier). Also on purple tubular flowers ([[underlined]] Palicourea [[/underlined]] sp., Rubiaceae). Probably same species of purple flower which the Albis near Munchique favored. This Albi is silent throughout the whole period observed. Scans audible in distance while Albi is around, but none nearby. Certainly no sign of reaction between Albis and Scan.  Albi ranges 2 - 12 ft above ground. These are the same elevations which the Cy favored when it was here earlier.

So the territories of the Cy(s) and Albi(s) here must be [[underlined]] at least broadly overlapping. [[/underlined]] (Although I have no definite evidence, I imagine that the territory of the local Cy(s) overlaps that of the local Albi(s) [[underlined]] completely [[/underlined]].) And the territory of at least one of the local Scans must partially overlap those of both Cy(s) and Albi(s).

(I was particularly interested to see the Albi feeding on the tubular red flowers, and making holes in their corollas.  I have just realized that I have never - to my recollection - seen Cys (or Coers make holes in corollas.)

My observations today certainly would suggest that there is no overt hostility between Scans, Cys, and Albis here. Nor, app
