Mixed Diglossini, May 10, 1965, V  (14)

one another. No obvious hostility between species. Cy Sings typical Song phrases. But looking [[underlined]] away [[/underlined]] from Aters. Then Cy flies off. Aters do not follow. Then adult Ater begins to chase and supplant juv., as before. Eventually they move off and disappear from my sight.

^[[Ater]] Neither of the Aters seen here could be the same as the one seen down below. So there are at least 3 individuals of the species in this region.

^[[Cy Ater]] Obviously Cy and Ater territories overlap here too. And it is really most remarkable that there is no hostility between the 2 species!!!! Every region in the Andes has its own [[underlined]] peculiar [[/underlined]] Diglossine complex!

^[[Cy Ater]] Look back again a minute later. Again, there are the same 2 Aters and single adult Cy in bush. Adult Ater chasing juv. as before. Adult Cy feeding peacefully, paying no attention to Aters. Then all fly off. Cy probably in different direction from Aters.

^[[Cy Ater Laf]] Incidentally, neither the Cy nor the Aters payed any attention when Laf near me Sang briefly. And the Laf here has shown no indication of a desire to either join or attack the Aters and Cys only 100 ft away.

^[[142 CC Laf]] 8:20. Goo god! See single CC ^[[2 checkmarks]] (definite) perched 2 ft up low open scrub only 6 ft from where Laf seen earlier!!! NOD. CC feeds by picking insects off blades leaves. Utters a couple of "Tsit" Notes. Flies off.

^[[Ater]] 8:30 Adult Ater still chasing and supplanting juv. thru bushes. [[underlined]] One [[/underlined]] supplant accompanied by R (no Zaza). Cys not around.

^[[VIII Laf]] Green VIII hummingbird feeding same bush as Laf earlier.

Everything gone now 8:35 am. Going further up hill.

Incidentally, the weather hasn't changed at all today.

^[[CC?]] 8:40. Region scattered second growth scrub. Some small brownish bird uttering single "Zee wee zee dee dee" Song phrases. CC? Or wren?
