6:47 Small green hummingbird back T1. Alone. Flies off. Back. Cunamon appears. Lands in T1 8 ft from green hummingbird. Latter flies away. Cunamon flees off in opposite direction. Ater flies into tree adjacent to T1. Silent. Alone. FLies off again. 

Sun reaching this area 6:52 am. 
VB back to t1. Then two Aters fly into tree. Apparently engaged in hostile chase. Flet three tree 6-8 ft from VB. Cunamon appears. Hovers over the Aters. Aters fly away. Cuin goes in another direction. Then VB flies off in still a third direction. 

6:55 VB back T1. Feeds. Cuin appears. Also lands in T1 4 ft from VB. Noovrt reaction between the two species. Cuin flies off. VB continues to feed. Flies off. Small green hummingbird ("SGH")appears in T1. alone. Flies off.

Ater feeding in adjacent tree. Exactly where Cc seen earlier. Apparently also peeling insects off leaves. 6:58 There is at least 1 Cuin fluttering over the area, also perching occasionally. Ca 10-15 ft from Ater. No reaction between the two birds. Then I see that the VB is back in the t1. Feeding. the Cuin(s) is(are) just about the same distance from VB as from the Ater. But there are no VB-Cuin reaction either. Then SGH flies into T1. VB and SGH appear to ignore each other. Feeding 5-6ft apart. Then gradually come closer together. Then there is a brief fight between VB and SGH. Cant see who is aggresor. Then the two birds separate. Resume feeding 5-6 ft apart. Then an Ater flies into T1. Not the same individual as the one seen feeding in adjacent tree. (The latter is still there). No reaction between Ater and either VB
