[[circled]] 67 [[/circled] Mixed Diglossini, Apr.4, 1965, III Rain starting 4:20pm. There is also a ♂ Blackburnian feeding in another Eucalypt (I presume this is Blackburnian — orange & black with white on wing) Alone. Apparently looking for insects. [[left margin]]XCC[[/left margin]] Same XCC as yesterday back same place in Erythrina tree, 4:32pm. Feeding on blossoms. But this time sticking bill into top of corollas!!! Quite alone. Apparently silent. [[left margin]]XCC[[/left margin]] Are there two “types” of “XCC” here? I thought I saw another small bird earlier, generally grayish, with white wing patch like cc, a white abdomen, and dark vent!! (Did I get confused with a ♀ Goldfinch somehow????? Probably yes The XCC with greenish wings definitely does not have a wing patch. [[left margin]]XCC[[/left margin]] 4:45. I just saw this XCC supplant a couple of other small birds, but unfortunately I didn't identify the latter. Again. Again, I didn't identify the bird(s) supplanted. [[left margin]]XCC[[/left margin]] When the aggressive "green wing" XCC (whom I shall call "Φ" from now on) feeds on Erythrina flowers again. This time poking at bases. It's throat may be slightly yellowish. Its rump is a brighter yellow-green than the wings. [[left margin]]BQ XCC[[/left margin]] There is at least one BQ feeding in same tree. But not (usually) at the same time or in the same place. 4:55 Now there is a pair of BQ's feeding on exactly the same clump of flowers that Φ fed on earlier. Φ nowhere in sight at the time. BQ's are definitely pecking at bases of corollas! [[left margin]]BQ Bari[[/left margin]] There is also a ♀ Bari about 10 ft away from the BQ's. Look
