(50) [[underlined]] Diglossa, [[/underlined]] May 24, 1962, II species singing at same time. Overlap with latter is perfectly random manner. 6:10 a.m. A [[male symbol]] [[underlined]] aterrima [[/underlined]] is now singing in tree where Diglossopis sing quite frequently. They are about now. And the [[underlined]] aterrima [[/underlined]] is singing from a perch which is much lower than the singing purchase usually selected by the Diglossopis when in the same tree. Atacaso & Inãquito Went up to Atacaso this afternoon. Arrived 3:00 p.m. Heavy mist & rain, so I didn't stay long. Both [[underlined]] lafresnayei [[/underlined]] and [[underlined]] aterrima [[/underlined]] sang quite a lot while I was there. My impression was that the songs of the 2 species were not correlated in anyway. Once, at least, a single [[male symbol]] of each species (quite far apart) sang songs simultaneously. A couple of other times I heard phrases of the 2 species overlap. I don't know if these reactions were coincidental or not. I arrived at Mãquito, at the usual field, at 4:45, and stayed until 6:20. During all that time, I didn't hear a single [[underlined]] aterrima [[/underlined]] song phrase, altho I did catch occasional glimpses of [[male symbol]]'s (see also today's notes on [[underlined]] Conirostrum. [[/underlined]] [[underlined]] Diglossa, [[/underlined]] I May 25, 1962 Atacaso Working in usual place. Arrive 5:28 a.m. Very misty and cloudy
