Mixed Diglossini, May 9, 1965, I.  (4)

fairly dark. Clear. Cold.

^[[VIII Laf]] 5:58 See Green Hummingbird VIII on several species red and white flowers on which Laf fed yesterday. About 30-40 ft. away from where Laf was seen.

^[[Laf]] It is interesting that there has been no Laf Song this morning - yet. 
5:55 am This would suggest that population is not dense.

Then hear what is almost certainly Laf Song 5:58. Brief phrase.

^[[Cy VIII]] 5:59 Hear what is undoubtedly Cy Song. Coming from area 30-40 ft. from where Laf was seen yesterday (and also heard today). NOD. The area from which Cy Songs are coming also is only 20 ft. from where hummer VIII was seen feeding earlier. Cy phrases with "Tsit" Intro Notes.

White-bearded flycatchers moving over toward Cy! 6:02

^[[Black]] ^[[108]] ^[[Cy]] Now see Black Diglossa ^[[checkmark]], briefly, in bush only 20 ft or so from where Cy is Singing. Disappears immediately. Cy still singing. One or two more phrases. Then disappears. Could it have retreated before approach by Laf???? (Apparently there was no overt attack.

Everything is quiet now 6:07am

^[[Cy 109]] Now hear Cy singing slightly up hill. Alone. NOD. In tree ^[[checkmark]], isolated in pasture, 15 ft up. Then flies off to another tree 50 ft away. Sings some more. All phrases "Tsit" Intro Notes. Like most Cys, this individual seems to have relatively large territory. At least 300 yds across.

^[[Laf]] Cy shuts up. Laf (uphill) Sings. No overlap. Then hear several Lafs Singing. Overlapping one another. Also overlapping some [[underlined]] Poecilothraupis [[underlined]] "Songs." Then Laf(s) shut up. [[underlined]] Poecilothraupis [[underlined]] continues. Then more Laf. 

^[[Laf]] Overlapping tanager. 

Sun reaching this area 6:20am.

Transcription Notes:
Unsure of underlined species in penultimate paragraph. Tried a google search to verify spelling to no avail. Think I have resolved them.
