Mixed Diglossini, Aug. 1, 1965, III.    (87)

^[[3 Laf]] Eventually this bird flies ^[[checkmark]] away and shuts up. Then I hear some brief Laf Song about 100 yards away. No overlap.

^[[4 checkmark]] 8:43 Some more Laf Song. NODWA

Leaving 9:25 am

^[[Cy Cinn Gen]] COMMENT: I saw, and heard, surprisingly little of Cy this morning. Does this mean that the local Cys are "migratory", like the local Cinnamon Hummingbirds??? If so, it means that the only nectarivorous birds left here, now, are the nectarivorous Diglossas (ie. Laf and Ater) and the hummingbirds "parasitic" upon them (i.e. no VIII).
