Mixed Diglossini, Aug. 4, 1965, XIV  (102)

^[[Gen]] Certainly the Lafs and Aters are not breeding here now. Probably the Cinnamons and VB's aren't either. But the local Cys [[underlined]] may [[/underlined]] be. (Another suggestion that Cys have two breeding seasons per year!)

August 5, 1965
Puracé

Going to work in same place as yesterday. Arrive house itself 5:30 am. Still dark. Occasional light sprinkles of rain on way up; but sky looks largely clear.

Some miscellaneous bird sounds begin 5:40 am. Also some light rain! But rain almost stopped 5:46.

Working in the part of the garden where Cys were seen yesterday

^[[Cinn]] First Cinnamon sounds 5:50 am. Then hear some Atlapetes Whistle Songs in distance. NODWA. (Actually, there have been more bird sounds around here this morning - especially down in the wooded ravine - than in adjacent areas on previous days - this trip. Perhaps some birds here are in breeding condition? Or maybe these sounds are responses to the rain?)

Lots of single Sooty Thrushes as usual.

Hear first Yellowface Songs in distance 5:55 am. Apparently NODWA. Bird Singing phrase after phrase. Then several Yellowfaces Singing. Still NODWA.

Now going over to area where first Laf seen yesterday.

^[[Cinn]] Cinnamons seem less active and noisy today than yesterday.

^[[Black]] see first Black Diglossas feeding on orange flowers 6:03.
