Mixed Diglossini, Sept. 21, 1962, VI  26

[[margin]] Bari  BQ [[/margin]]
Both baritula and the BQ seem to be very common here. But I have yet to see an adult ♂ baritula here.

[[margin]] BQ [[/margin]]
Some BQ songs, which I can hear in  distance, might be transcribed almost equally well as "Keeeeeah keeeeah" and "Sreeeeeee-zuh sreeeeeeee-zuh." This indicates how the songs of the local birds can be homologized with those of BCI birds.

[[margin]] BQ [[/margin]]
There is at least 1 BQ here in juvenal plumage.

[[margin]] BQ [[/margin]]
5:30 pm. See a single BQ, sitting high & exposed on bare twig top Eucalyptus-like tree. Belly fluffed. Flight CR. Looking from side to side. Uttering particularly conspicuous "CN"s. "chip....chip.....chip......" Then flies away. Very reminiscent of Red-legs!

[[margin]] BQ [[/margin]]
Perhaps the local BQ's have abandoned the thicket niche because they like Eucalyptus flowers so much.

[[margin]] Bari [[/margin]]
The baritulas don't seem to like Eucalyptus at all! 

[[margin]] Gen [[/margin]]
What was the distribution of all these birds before Eucalyptus was introduced?

[[margin]] BG  Bari [[/margin]]
It looks as if BG's and baritulas are largely, although not completely, segregated (ecologically) here at the present time.

[[margin]] Cy Albi [[/margin]]
In case I forgot to mention it in my notes a few days ago .... The territories of Cys and Albis on the Pico Espejo near Teleferico #1 seem to be almost or absolutely completely overlapping ___ horizontally

[[margin]] Gen [[/margin]]
I may also have forgotten to mention that I walked way past the "pocket" on the mountain, through several miles of beautiful humid forest _ and saw absolutely no diglossin
