I have yet to hear an unmistakable Diglossa song. But the Thrushes and other things are so noisy that I might well overlook a few twitters.

Lots of Andean Sparrows in song. Still no Diglossa song 5:55. Diglossas cannot be singing much it at all.

There seem to be several Carbos flying about high (30 ft) in eucalyptus trees, but very difficult to see 6:02.

6:05. Going to look at other areas

Hear song coming from Eucalypt. Repeated phrases. All phrases: ^margin in red [[?]] "Ta-zee ta-zee ta-zee-zruh(huh)" Have heard similar songs here during afternoons previous days. Sound as if they might be uttered by CC's; but I have not been able to see the birds

Finally see a Carbo 6:13. Perched on top willow 30 ft above ground. Silent. Flies into Eucalypt and is lost to view.

See 2 Carbos hopping about in hedge close together (1 ft apart) No sign of hostility Silent. One continues moving along hedge, while the other perches, silent, on top twig. When the moving bird has got about 4 ft away, the perched bird suddenly swoops on it with [[underlined with squiggly line]] "Sreeeeeeeeee [[/underlined]] za-za-za". Then both fly away together. Mated pair?

6:30. The Carbos are certainly unbelievably inconspicuous, on the whole, here this morning.

6:36. Ah ha! Finally see a single CC, in hedge, in exactly the same spot where the pair of Carbos were seen earlier. Sitting quietly. Then flies away. Apparently no Carbos around at the time.

Two Carbos in flight. One utters twitter as it goes over my head. Possibly reaction to me.

I think this must be the same pair that I saw earlier. Stick-
