Mixed Diglossini, Aug. 11, 1965, VII  (75)

come down low in an area which I knew was part of an Albi territory  Possibly, segregation between Albi and Cy breaks down at relatively low altitudes. Certainly, if it is maintained, it is not "perfect" [[underlined]] stratification [[/underlined]] at such altitudes.

August 12, 1965
Munchique

Going to work on top of Munchique itself this morning. Arrive 5:38 am. Just getting light. Partly cloudy. Very windy. And unbelievably [[underlined]] cold [[/underlined]]!!!

^[[Coer]] 6:17 am. Hear a couple of Coer Song phrases downhill from site where bird seen singing a few days ago. NODWA

^[[Coer]] Then I go down into USF Zone. And hear more Coer Songs ca. 6:30 am. This Singing bird probably is in area of tall forest! NODWA

^[[Coer]] Then go back up to "alpine scrub" ("AS") Zone. And down side path thru AS. 6:59 am. Hear Coer Singing phrase after phrase. This certainly is [[underlined]] not [[/underlined]] the same bird heard Singing earlier today (altho it probably is one of the ones heard a couple of days ago). Song phrases [[underlined]] exactly [[/underlined]] like those heard a couple of days go; ie. 3 "Seeeeeee" Notes, followed by brief Twitter, ending in "Flourish" (or "Flur"). Bird apparently Singing 15 ft or so up in small trees; but I can't see it.

^[[Coer checkmark 25]] NODWA when Coer Sings first. Then I hear Yellowface insert one Song phrase between Coer phrases. [[underlined]] No overlap. [[/underlined]] Coer resumes Singing. Yellowface utters one more phrase. [[underlined]] Complete overlap [[/underlined]] Yellowface shuts up. Coer continues Singing NODWA. Coer shuts up, 7:09 am. Then starts again a few minutes later. NODWA. Then catch brief glimpse of bird.
