(52) [[underlined]] Diglossa [[/underlined], May 25, 1962, II the record bird is a Conebill too, but I can't be sure about this. Then silence again 6:15 am. All the Blue-spots have been very quiet this morning. Why? No sooner said than done! Single Blue-spot begins singing 6:16 am. Arrive area where I know [[underlined]] aterrima [[/underlined]] & Blue-spots both occur. Blue-spot singing when I arrive. Shuts up. Then Conebill sings. Then Blue-spot starts again. Then Conebill. Then Blue-spot. Then silence. Then Blue-spot again. Then silence. The only [[underlined]] aterrima [[/underlined]][male symbol] I can see around now is the one who has young in the nest, and he is silent. Blue-spots singing off and on. All birds silent now 6:27. Then Blue-spots start again. Then an [[underlined]] aterrima [[/underlined]] [male symbol] starts. (This time I can see bird). First alternates phrases with Blue-spot. Then twice overlaps Blue-spot. Then Blue-spot shuts up. [[underlined]] Aterrima [[/underlined]] sings many phrases. Then [[underlined]] aterrima [[/underlined]] stops and Blue-spot starts again. Then [[underlined]] aterrima [[/underlined]] starts again. Twice Blue-spot overlaps [[underlined]] aterrima. [[/underlined]] Then [[underlined]] aterrima [[/underlined]] stops. Blue-spot continues then stops. All these [[underlined]] aterrima [[/underlined]] phrases were quite different from the "Conebill" songs heard earlier. Beginning "Zee zee zee ...." accelerating into a formless twitter, ending with an "ee-ee-yoo". The [[underlined]] aterrima [[/underlined]] quite ignored a Furnariid or fly catcher singing at more or less the same time. Sometimes overlapped, sometimes not. The [[underlined]] aterrima [[/underlined]] and the Blue-spot were singing from stations at least 30 ft apart, but I have since seen them feeding in the same areas (altho not at the same time)
Transcription Notes:
Have requested advice from Smithsonian on how it wants Moynihan's colour & pattern coding transcribed.
