Mixed Diglossini, Aug. 5, 1965, IV.  (105)

^[[VB Cy Laf]] with the human eye.) In the course of these disputes, the VB's certainly pass through the tree in which Cys and Lafs were seen yesterday. Thus their [[underlined]] territories or ranges do overlap those of the latter 2 species - at least partially. [[/underlined]]

^[[Ater VB]] Ater appears briefly in tree with small yellow flowers 7:20. [[underlined]] When [[/underlined]] VB's are absent.

^[[Gen]] There also seem to be several other species of small hummingbirds around here. All partly or largely green.

^[[Cinn Ater]] Back to other side of the garden 7:40 Everything quiet. Then some more disputes among the Cinnamons. They ignore an Ater feeding not very far away.

Observations interrupted while I get some coffee!

Back to Cy area 7:55.

^[[VB Cinn]] Single VB back feeding small yellow flowers. Gets involved in a dispute with another small hummingbird. I [[underlined]] think [[/underlined]] of another species. Latter flies off. VB back feeding. Ignores, and is ignored by, a Cinnamon about 10 ft away.

^[[Ater]] Adult Ater feeding in bush with clumps small white flowers. Silent and alone. Then flies off.

Sun coming out again 8:05am.

^[[Ater]] 8:10. Now there is a small green hummingbird feeding on clumps small white flowers. Ater certainly has a lot of competition around here!

^[[VB ?]] 8:22. VB back tree with small yellow flowers. Attacked and supplanted by small greenish hummingbird.

^[[Laf Ater Cinn]] Back to other side of garden. One Laf, two Aters, and lots of Cinnamons around. All feeding orange flowers.
