of head! But with eye stripe like typical Glors. Quite silent. 

[[left margin]] Glor [[/leftmargin]]
One Glor apparently cleaning another 9:45. (One of the birds definitely identified, the other only glimpsed.) Accompanied by 3 or 4 "Sraaaaaaaaaaaa-eeyah"s [[wave drawings under a's]].

10:05. I have now seen 1 or 2 Glors (definitely identified) make at least 5 "Fly catching" sallies. If really catching insects, the latter seems to be very small.

Glors do not answer Goldfinch song, in spite of the fact that it is rather similar to their own in quality. Nor do they start to sing after the goldfinch is finished. 

[[left margin]] Coer [[/left margin]]
10:17 See a pair of what is obviously Coerulescens ("Coer") apparently picking insects off leaves of moderately tall tree, at least 30 ft. above ground. (I am almost certain of the identification, in spite of the fact that the birds were silhouetted against light, so that their facial pattern was difficult to discern. Eye apparently dark. Body surprisingly short & plump looking. More like carbonaria than like cyanea. I noticed this latter feature when I glimpsed the birds near Teleferico #1.) The tree they were in has very cut up, almost cecropia-like, leaves. This is certainly one of the trees in which a Glor sang at dawn today. Unfortunately the Coers were quite silent and all the Glors have shut up too.

[[left margin]] Coer [[/left margin]]
I caught a brief glimpse of an apparently single Coer in a similar tree earlier this morning.

[[left margin]] Glor Coer [[/left margin]] 
There were certainly no Glors in this last tree at the same time as the Coers.

The Coers appear medium gray-blue all over. Very much the same color as ♂ plumbea.
