Mixed Diglossini, Sept. 24, 1961, II
35

A has quite stopped singing by 6:10.

[[margin]] Gen [[/margin]]
There seem to be lots of White-spectacled Redstarts around today. In tree where A Glor sang, and where the Coers were seen yesterday
These Redstarts must compete with the local diglossines.

[[margin]] Coer Glor [[/margin]]
Incidentally, it is worth repeating that the Coers here overlap with real Glors, if nothing else.

[[margin]] Gen [[/margin]]
Diglossine song in general has stopped very early this morning. Presumably because it is clear and relatively warm.

[[margin]] Glor [[/margin]]
Another "glor" definitely identified as Diglossa. Silent. Apparently searching for insects in thicket.

[[margin]] Glor  Ater [[/margin]]
The song of the local "Glors" are definitely inhibited by my approach. Seldom or never stimulated as was sometimes the case with aterrima. Does this mean that the song of "Glors" are less hostile than those of aterrima? Or simply that the "Glors" are more timid in general. (There is other evidence in favor of the latter hypothesis. I.E. the local "Glors" seldom attack birds of other species.)

[[margin]] Cy [[/margin]]
Good heavens! A Cy just flew out of very low shrubbery. 6:44 a.m. Definitely identified. Hops thru shrubbery. Uttering a few "Tut"s. Then flies into tree.

[[margin]] Glor [[/margin]]
Another "Glor" definitely identified as Diglossa. Utters "Sraaaaaaaa" as it flies by me.

[[margin]] Glor [[/margin]]
6:58 a.m. A pair of "Glor"s definitely identified as Diglossa. Feeding at bases of large tubular pink flowers. Moving about together. One of them repeatedly (at least 3 times) attacks or supplants a small hummingbird. Each time utters "Sraaaaaaaaa" as it does so. Then flies to exposed perch, utters brief but typical "Glor" song without R component.
