Mixed Diglossini, May 10, 1975, VIII                  (17)

s).

Yellow-faced Whitestarts may be approximately as common as Lafs or Cys. (It is my [[mijuemon?]] that the population density of this species - and the representative species in other parts of the Andes - does not vary greatly from place to place.)

[[^Gen]] II. The relations between songs different species are much the same as in the Eastern Cordillera. Of the Diglossini, only Lafs and Cys have definitely been heard to sing. Early in the morning, their songs do not usually overlap. Later in the morning, they may do so. As far as song is concerned, the Yellow-faced Whitestart seems to be an integral member of the Diglossine complex here. Its songs do not usually overlap with those of Lafs or Cys early in the morning, but may overlap with either one or both later. As far as I can tell, the Yellow-faced Whitestart is the only "outside" member of the Diglossine song complex here. 

[[^Gen]] III. Cy territories certainly overlap those of Lafs, Aters, and CC's. The Cys here probably are more frequently arboreal than any of the other local Diglossini, except [[Sittis?]] (see below); but they certainly come down into scrub [[underlined]] quite [[/underlined]] frequently. They are not "stratified" above the scrub-inhabiting forms [[lelie?]] the Cys at Munchique. CC territories certainly overlap there of Cys Lafs, and Aters. Laf territories certainly overlap those of Cys and CC's. Ater territories also overlap those of Cys and CC's. I am not certain of the relationship between Laf and Ater territories. They may overlap. Or (perhaps more probably?) they only adjoin one another.

Cinnamon and Green Hummer VIII territories seem to overlap those of all Diglossini in a perfectly "random" manner. So, I [[underlined]] then [[/underlined]]
