Mixed Diglossini, Aug. 16, 1967, VII     25

[[left margin]] Nocti [[/left margin]]
A few minutes later, look up hill to see Nocti engaged in furious pursuit of a much smaller, lighter-colored bird. This pursued might be a ♀ Albi or a small hummingbird. Certainly can't be another Nocti (not even a juv.).

[[left margin]] Gen [[/left margin]]
It certainly would appear that interspecific hostility is in full swing! 

[[left margin]] Gen [[/left margin]]
Perhaps relations among the members of the "Diglossine Complex" here are most like those in the Sierra de Mérida??? 

Everything very quiet 10:25 am. Also hot. Going to start back down road.

[[left margin]] Thalass [[/left margin]]
   Back down by Thalass area 10:32. One Thalass still singing steadily NODWAH

Stopping observations 10:55 am.
