Mixed Diglossini, Apr. 4, 1965, IV

9:20 am. I have now seen quite a lot 17✓✓✓✓✓✓✓ [[blue # and two checks, three red checks,2 black checks]] of single Glors around this area. I think that the population must be quite dense.
As far as I can tell, they all are feeding in dense, usually very low, vegetation. Apparently probing for insects.

NOTE: Red, orange, and pink (and other flowers) are scarce here now. Tubular flowers are particularly scare.
Fog coming in again 9:27

Starting to work around hotel 3:45pm.
BQ's around and singing quite a lot.

[[left margin]] Gen [[/left margin]]
There are also lots of Blue Tanagers around. Apparently not in mixed flocks. Unispecific groups of 1,2, and 3.

[[left margin]] BQ [[/left margin]]
4:05 pm. Come across a whole group of birds in a large Eucalypt. 20-40 ft above ground. Group includes at least one BT, at least 2 BQs, a pair of tanager III, at least one species of Elaenia (looks like large one in Panama), and some goldfinches (same species as in lowland Panama). All flitting about actively. Some supplanting. But I can't tell who is doing what and to whom - except that the elaenia is particularly aggressive.

In any case, both BQ's fly away, at different times, and are not followed by any of the other birds.

[[left margin]] BQ [[/left margin]]
The BQ's all seem to be adult now. Going around in pairs.

They just love Erythrina blossoms!

Transcription Notes:
** I believe color of the checks is important, and should be described. And that certain numbers are the same color as certain checks. They match.
