Atlapetes, I 
September 5,1962
Paraimo La Negra   

Same place as yesterday. Pair of PL's feeding by themselves. One flies to join the other. Joining bird utters soft, high, thin "warble" (partly composed of "ta-zeee-uh-zeeee" type components), which changes gradually but rapidly into R, and is then followed immediately by 3 "Feeo" notes, as it comes in. All this as greeting!! Without CR. Then, as the birds continue to move through shrubbery, one or both utter(s) more "greetings" whenever they come close to one another. Extremely variable. Sometimes "Warble" alone. Sometimes Warble, followed by R alone. Sometimes Warble-R-Feeoos as before. Sometimes R. Followed by Warble!!
  
Then birds fly to join flock including
Bassleuterus XL and Chlorophonia. 8:00 a.m.
