Mixed Diglossini, Sept. 24,1962, III

[[margin]] Glor [[/margin]]
Some pair Glors seen moving around together a few minutes later. One supplants the other, uttering "Sraaaaaaaaa" as it does so. Then its on exposed perch & preens. Can see that it has little or no gray or black. I am sure that I saw a "Glor" yesterday which revealed a lot of what I thought was gray on its back.

[[margin]] Albi [[/margin]]
Have heard no trace of "Albi" song this morning.

[[margin]] Glor [[/margin]]
7:15 a.m. See silent bird perched exactly where A sang this morning. Unfortunately cannot make sure which species it belongs to. Certainly looks quite like Glor in general.

[[margin]] Glor [[/margin]]
The vegetation in A area is rather sparser than in the areas where I know definite Glors occur. Apparently an old slide. Only a few trees (but it was from trees that A sang this morning). And it is still in shade - long after the areas where known Glors occur have been in full sun shine.

[[margin]] Glor [[/margin]]
See a pair of definitely identified Glors 7:23. In same type vegetation as A, in shade, but about 500 ft. away. "♀" definitely carrying n m. This "♀" has many streaks of black along flanks "♂" remains behind when she flies off with n m. Utters brief soft typical "Glor" song without R, with bill absolutely closed, little or no fluffing of under parts. Then flies away in opposite direction
Probably frightened by me.

[[margin]] Glor [[/margin]]
What is probably same bird ("♂") then sits on exposed perch a few feet away, and utters song after song, all with penultimate R components. Then does it again & again, different perches (all in bushes) "♀" reappears briefly. "♂" flies toward her. Silent. She flies off. "♂" feeds on tubular red flowers 7:30

[[margin]] Glor [[/margin]]
♂ sings again, as before ♀ back. ♂ stops singing immediately
