[[circled]] 20 [[/circled]] the hummingbird must be considered part of the group. Group as a whole may not be well integrated. [[left margin in red]] Albi [[/left margin]] The [[male symbol]] Albi spent most of his time taking nectar from very small [[underlined]] blue [[/underlined]] cup-shaped flowers (growing in clusters). Also apparently looked for insects on leaves. [[left margin in red]] Albi [[/left margin]] COMMENT: It has just struck me that I have seen many more [[male symbol]] than [[female symbol]] Albis with flocks. This cannot be purely an artifact Not due solely to the fact that [[female symbol]]'s are less conspicuous. Must reflect a real sexual dimorphism in habits.

[[insert,in blue]] 1 [[/insert]] [[3 checkmarks]] [[insert,in pencil]] 201 [[/insert]] 3 - 4 Chlorophonias, [[left margin in blue]] 24 [[/left margin]] [[2 checkmarks]] [[insert,in pencil]] 203 [[/insert]] [[insert,in blue]] 2 [[/insert]] 2 Brown Whitestarts. All 10 - 30 ft up in trees. Also hear Bright [[checkmark]] [[insert,in pencil]] 204 [[/insert]] [[insert,in blue]] 3 [[/insert]] Ruddy R's nearby.

Stopping observations 5:45 pm. NOTE: For statistical purposes, the whole of this afternoon's observations should be counted as 1 hr 00 min. CORRECTIONS AND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Some of the technicians from the CVM came up here today, and I learnt a lot of things There are supposed to be two rainy seasons here:
