Mixed Diglossini, May 5, 1965.  V.

of the mountain really was uttered by a Caer??????

[[margin]] Albi Baru Gen [[/margin]]  NOTE:  looking over my notes made at the Boqueron de Tollo in 1962.  I see that the territories of Baris and Albis apparently did [[underlined]] not [[/underlined]] overlap there, although both species occur low in scrub.  [[underlined]] And [[/underlined]] the populations of both species were not small there (the population of Baris was relatively large [[underlined]] and [[/underlined]] concentrated).  So it would appear that microgeographic segregation of different species of scrub-inhibiting Diglossas may be characteristic of the [[underlined]] whole [[/underlined]] Western Cordillera.

[[margin]] Sittis Cy WCC [[/margin]]  (Sittis as leaders of flocks.  Sittis in flocks without WCC's. Cys feeding in low scrub.  Cy apparently taking nectar from tubular red flowers.)

[[margin]] Gen [[/margin]]  Obviously, some of my previous statements about the behavior of Sittis and Cys here are nothing more than generalizations about their [[underlined]] usual [[/underlined]] activities and preferences.  There are exceptions to most of the rules.

[[margin]] Cy [[/margin]]  The fact that the Cys here has been so quiet today is further evidence that all the excitement yesterday was due to the presence of a third individual.
