Mixed Diglossini,  July 27, 1965, II.  (75)

^[[Cy]] wood.  Only a few yards from where Cy seen last week.  Ranging 6-10 ft up.  One or (more probably) both Singing frequently.  All Songs composed of rapid Twitters, [[underlined]] preceded by 2 or (more often) 4 [[/underlined]] Intro Notes.  Comme ça:"Tsit tsit tsit-tsit [[irregular line]]" Songs given from unritualized diagonal-horizontal postures

[[image - drawing of a bird with bill open and tongue raised]] Front part of crown sometimes slightly "ruffled", but this appears to be largely "accidental".  More important, [[underlined]] the tongue is always raised during the Twitter [[/underlined]]. (I think the bill is kept wide open throughout the Twitter. But mandibles presumably move a little with the notes.)
   
All these Songs appear to be "Greeting" and/or "Landing" Calls  It is interesting that they include Intro Notes, [[underlined]] altho (or in spite of the fact) that the two birds usually are close together. [[/underlined]]

^[[Cy Scan]] [[underlined]] All the Cy Songs are completely overlapped by "Chuck" Songs of several Scans. [[/underlined]] But none of the Scans are very close.  At least 50 yards away.
     
Cys move quickly thru vegetation - apparently not feeding - and then disappear from view.

^[[68]] At one time, there certainly was a third bird ^[[checkmark]] near these Cy's About 6 ft up. Unfortunately, I couldn't identify it.  It [[underlined]] might [[/underlined]] have been a third Cy.

^[[Albi]] 6:55 am. There is a medium-small green hummingbird feeding on the purple flowers favored by Albis.  Apparently no Diglossini around at the time.

6:58 Hear some R's.  Again completely overlapped by Scan "Chuk"
