Mixed Diglossini, May 27, 1965, III. (27) of Cy songs, and [[underlined]] begins [[/underlined]] to sing before Cy has quite finished. Thus leading to a lot of [[underlined]] partial [[/underlined]] overlaps. ^[[Cy]] Cy is certainly the species Singing most frequently here. Followed by Yellow-face. Slate throat Singing least frequently. As far as I have been able to tell, Slatethroat is [[underlined]] still [[/underlined]] interjecting Song phrases only when both Cy and Yellow-face are silent. This may be comparatively "easy" for Slatethroat because its Song phrases are shorter than those of either Cy or Yellowface. ^[[Cy]] 5:58. Now 1 Slatethroat [[underlined]] does [[/underlined]] Sing 1 phrase while Cy is in full voice. Complete overlap. Slatethroat shuts up. Cy continues. ^[[Cy]] Then brief period general quiet 6:00 a.m. Then more Cy Songs. At longer intervals now. But still frequent. Cys [[underlined]] must [[/underlined]] be in breeding condition here now. ^[[Cy]] See 1 Cy. In [[underlined]] small [[/underlined]] tree above second growth scrub. 15-20 ft up. Makes 1 "flycatching" flight! ^[[Cy]] Cys shut up. Yellow face Sings. Shuts up. Cy Sings. Shuts up. Yellow face Sings. Shuts up. Cy Sings. Shuts up. Yellow face Sings. Shuts up. 6:04. No overlaps at all. Fog is approaching now. Visibility is poor. All quiet 6:07 a.m. ^[[Cy]] 6:12. Cy Singing again. See bird. In isolated tree. 40-50 ft up. All Song phrases as before. Song posture rather low diagonal. Tail quivers visibly with Twitters. Presumably just as result of physical effort of producing the notes. The Cy ignores 2 swallows and 1 flycatcher perched 5-10 ft away. Then shuts up. Feeds on clusters of white flowers in tree. 6:23. Now it is clearing up. [[underlined]] And [[/underlined]] getting warm!
