Mixed Diglossini, May 11, 1965, II (20)

^[[Laf Albi?]] 6:00 a m. Some more Whitestart and Laf Songs. Not overlapping. Then an Albi-type R. NOD.

Then see group 3 ^[[three checkmarks]] Whitestarts chasing one another. Alone. Some Song and SHN's during encounter. No diglossine audible or visible at the time.

^[[Cy Laf]] Then hear what may be Cy Songs overlapping Whitestarts! Then "Cy" shuts up. Whitestarts continue. 6:09. [[underlined]] Again, [[/underlined]] an outburst of Whitestart Song seems to stimulate Song by Laf. Wide overlap. Laf shuts up. Whitestart continues. Shuts up. (It is obvious that Whitestart Song does have [[underlined]] some [[/underlined]] stimulating effect after all!).

More Whitestart Songs. No diglossine audible. Whitestarts Singing in tree, 15-25 ft up. Same tree where Cy has been seen. Also very close to where Ater, Laf, and CC have been seen. Then the Whitestarts move thru low scrub. Fly over area where Albi-type R's have been heard. Into area where CC has been seen.

6:17 am. Whitestarts still Singing occasionally. All Diglossini silent.

^[[Gen]] The Diglossini seem to be very dull and inactive in this area this morning. Just like yesterday morning same area same time. Surprising today, as sun seems to be coming out 6:28. Is dullness and quietness at this time of day just characteristic of this particular area???

^[[Laf Cy Cy Laf Gen]] Now 6:40. Hear Laf and Whitestart alternating Songs uphill. Then Whitestart continues alone. Then Whitestart resumes. And what seems to be Cy Sings in distance. Wide overlaps "Cy" and Whitestart Songs. "Cy" shuts up. Whitestart continues. Shuts up. "Cy" Sings again. Then Laf starts up hill. Partial overlap. "Cy" shuts up. Laf shuts up. Whitestart Sings again. [[underlined]] Mutual Song inhibition simply does not seem to be working very well here this morning! [[/underlined]] At least as far as Whitestart is concerned!
