Mixed Diglossini, Apr. 8, 1965, III     

[[left margin]] Glor Bari [[/left margin]]
rived!! There seems to be a regular correlation here. Glor arrived just after Bari and/or just after Bari leaves.  What is probably happening is that Glor is "attracted" (presumably in a hostile way) to the Erythrina whenever he sees a Bari in it.  (This behavior of the Glor probably is strictly comparable with the behavior of individuals "escorting" mixed flocks out of their territories.) And the Bari(s) leave(s) as soon as she (they) become(s) aware that the Glor is coming.

[[left margin]] Glor Bari [[/left margin]]
Speak of the devil, See both ♀ Bari and Glor feeding in Erythrina simultaneously. Sometimes no more than 10-15 ft apart. No overt hostility. Both frightened off by horsemen. Go in different directions. 

[[left margin]] Glor BQ Bari [[/left margin]]
Glor back in Erythrina 5:01. Apparently pays no attention to adult and juv. BQ in tree 50 ft away (even though the juv is begging loudly). New Glor flies off. Bari lands in tree immediately. NOD. Feeds. Then, a minute later, Glor is back. Lands in part of tree at least 20-30 ft from ♀ Bari. Looks at her. Then flies straight to her. Apparently attacks!!! I think the two birds actually come into contact. ♀ retreats. Glor goes back to his previous place in tree. And the ♀ Bari calmly resumes feeding in same tree! And the Glor now allows her to feed around 20-30 ft away from him! Both birds feeding apparently peacefully!!!

[[left margin]] Bari [[/left margin]]
When I look up again, both birds are gone. But now there in a juv  ♂ Bari (looks like washed-out version of the adult) feeding there!!! NOD. Leaves family soon. 

Then the Redstart comes in. Apparently looking for insects But moves on immediately.
