Mixed Diglossini, May 24, 1965, III.  (64)

very little apart from mixed flocks. This might suggest that they are associated with mixed flocks more or less all the time. I rather doubt this, however. I think that they probably are resident on territories; and appear when mixed flocks are present simply because that is the only time when they come out of their "hiding" places (presumably to "escort" the flocks).

^[[Gen]] V. Granted that the Diglossa spp. are resident, it still is very difficult to determine exactly how many individuals are present.

I certainly have seen only 1 Albi. A [[male symbol]].

There may be either 1 or 2 individuals of both Laf and Cy.

^[[Laf Cy Albi]] If there is only 1 individual of either one or both species, its territory or home range must be very large. I certainly have seen Laf(s) and Cy(s) on both sides of area where [[male symbol]] Albi was seen. Thus, if there is only one individual of either Laf and/or Cy, its (their) territory(ies) must overlap that of the [[male symbol]] Albi [[underlined]] completely [[/underlined]].  If their are two individuals of either Laf and/or Cy, they may have separate territories on either side of the [[male symbol]] Albi territory. In which case, there may be little or no Albi-Laf and/or Albi-Cy territorial overlap.

^[[Laf Cy]] Certainly the territories of Laf(s) and Cy(s) overlap to an appreciable extent, at least.

^[[Gen]] VI None of the 4 species seems to encounter any other face to face. (Possibly Cy and Laf sometimes are not far apart, when both are associated with the same mixed flock.) I haven't been able to determine if this is because one species retreats before another and/or one species refrains from approaching another.

^[[Gen]] VII. None of the local Diglossini, or the local Yellow-faced Whitestarts,
