Mixed Diglossini, Aug. 10, 1965, VII.  (69)

^[[Gen]] In general, today's observations would confirm the theory that the local Diglossa spp. are well segregated (although there is, perhaps, more "overlap" within the "Diglossine social complex" - including hummingbirds - than I expected.)

^[[Gen]] Certainly it is not coincidental that there were more flowers, of many different species, in the area worked this morning than any where else, around here, where I have worked during this trip.

This afternoon, going to work where first "Glauc" and the Albi-Scan interactions were seen a couple of months ago.

Just as I start to leave, I see what is apparently a single Rufous-capped Hummingbird feeding on fuchsias in garden of house. Apparently not attacked. Disappears almost immediately 2:15 pm.

^[[Albi]] Arrive "Glauc" area 2:30 pm. See [[male symbol]] Albi "escort" Slate throats (see description in notes on general mixed flocks). This is [[underlined]] exactly [[/underlined]] where both [[male symbol]] and [[female symbol]] Albis seen a couple of months ago. So perhaps all or most of the local Albis are resident the year round (quite unlike most of the local Scans).
