Central Cordillera Colombia (67) Mixed Diglossini, I July 17, 1965 Piedras Blancas Arrive 8050 ft 6:00 am. Area low moderately thick scrub. Apparently native. ^[[Albi?]] Hear what sound like Albi R's in distance. ^[[28 Coer?]] Then see and hear Songs by Blue ^[[checkmark]] Diglossa. All Song phrases essentially similar "Seee seee seee [[squiggly line]]yoo". Singing bird perched exposed 20 ft up top conifer. Ordinary diagonal posture. Tail depressed conspicuously beginning each "Seee". Intro Note. [[underlined]] Bird apparently is Coer. [[/underlined]] Apparently none of its phrases overlap with Abli-type R's. Lots of hummingbird sounds around. Not a species I recognize. 6:20. No Diglossas audible when hummingbirds in full swing. Then hear some Songs in distance which might be Whitestart or Diglossa. 2 or 3 phrases. ^[[Coer]] Then hear Coer type phrases again. 2 or 3 phrases. Overlapping hummingbird, but nothing else. Then general quiet 6:32 am. ^[[Coer 29]] Then see and hear ^[[checkmark]] Coer again. [[underlined]] Identification definite. [[/underlined]] Single bird alone. Flitting thru scrub 3-6 ft above ground. Eating red berries. In "ordinary" ways, i.e. chewing - [[underlined]] not [[/underlined]] piercing and sucking like Cys on Pico de Espejo near Merida. Uttering Song phrases in intervals. Songs more or less as before. But somewhat more variable. Many with only 2 Intro Notes. "Seeeee seeeee". The succeeding twitters variable in length and complexity, but all comparatively short. Overlapping hummingbird sounds at random, but nothing else. Then bird shuts up. Flies away.
