arently, is there any contact or any form of overlapping among the three species.
[[left margin in red]] Gen [[/left margin in red]]
The absence of contacts might be expected in a region as small as this one.  But the region is so small that one might, perhaps, [[underlined]] expect overt hostility [[/underline]] between the species. Such hostility may be avoided (or may not be "necessary") for any one or all of several reasons. In the first place, the local Scans apparently do not feed on the same species of flowers as the local Diglossas (thus the situation here is very different from the gardens of Bogota). 
[[left margin in red]] Gen Cy Albi [[/left margin in red]]
Secondly, both Cys and Albis seem to be relatively rare at this particular site (if not in all other parts of the general region).
At various times this morning, there was a medium sized greenish hummingbird (slightly smaller than Scan) in same area where Cy and Albi were seen, and where Scan passed through. Repeatedly fed on the same purple flowers as [[male symbol]] Albi. [[left margin in red]] Scan Albi [[/left margin in red]]
I [[underlined]] think [[/underlined]] that the Scan who flew through this area attacked this other hummingbird in passing. But certainly this other hummingbird was not visible or audible when the [[male symbol]] Albi appeared. (It [[underlined]] probably [[/underlined]] was not near to the Cy when the latter was around either.)
I must return to this area again!
NOTE: It may be useful to add some comments on the various environments around here.  They obviously fall into two groups: (1) Santa Elena and Boqueron de Palmitas, and (2) Piedras Blancas and the Finca "La Montana."
This division is [[underlined]] not [[/underlined]] geographic. Santa Elena and Piedras Blancas are east of Medellin (and not far apart from one another) Boqueron de Palmitas and La Montana are west of Medellin.
(1) Santa Elena and Boqueron de Palmitas both have fairly
