I shall call this species "unknown LXXVI".

I wonder how LXXVI gets on with [[male symbol]] Baris when they meet ???? I also wonder if it plays a role in mixed flocks (viz the similarly colored birds in Bolivia).

[[margin]] glor [[/margin]]

4:36. Good God! There is a perfectly typical single Glor hear. Feeding in typical diglossine fashion on flowers Erythrina, 40 ft above ground. Quite silent and alone. No other diglossine visible or audible at the time.

This Erythrina is fairly isolated. In pasture dotted with scattered trees and more or less hedge-like clumps of scrub.

According to my altimeter (sic!), the area here is 5975 ft.

[[margin]] XCC [[/margin]]

4:44. See a single XCC in large, non-flowering, tree near Erythrina visited by Glor earlier. 30 ft up. Silent. No other diglossine around at the time.

[[margin]] Bari [[/margin]]

4:52. Then see an undoubted Bari in another non-flowering tree (different species). 30 ft up. Silent. Alone. No other diglossine visible or audible at the time.

[[margin]] glor [[/margin]]
[[margin]] BQ [[/margin]]

Glor back in Erythrina a few minutes later. But only stays a second. No other diglossine around at the time ("NOD"). After it leaves, I see BQ's in tree 50 ft away. Still chasing one another with "Zheet"s. (I presume these notes are Begging by juv.)

[[margin]] glor [[/margin]]
[[margin]] BQ [[/margin]]
[[margin]] XCC [[/margin]]

5:01. Bari feeds in Erythrina. On same clumps of flowers as Glor earlier. NOD. Flies on immediately. Back again immediately. Ignores nearby BT's. Off again. Back again. BQ's singing in distance (far away) Ignored by Bari. Then Bari off again. Back again. NOD Stays a long time, feeding on lots of flowers. Then flies off into tree where XCC seen earlier! [[end page]]
