Mixed Diglossini, Aug. 4, 1965, II.   (90)

[[underlined]] I.E. they are not using Diglossa holes. [[/underlined]]

More Yellowface Songs in distance 6:12 am. NODWA.

^[[Ater Cinn]] Then see Ater in hedge across road from garden. Cinnamon comes and hovers near it. Ater doesn't react for some seconds. Then Ater flies away. Cinnamon [[underlined]] flies after Ater.
