Mixed Diglossini, Apr. 13, 1965, II.

seem to be commensals of man and his habitations and gardens.
[[left margin]]Bari BQ[[/left margin]]
6:58 am. There is a single female Bari feeding in an Erythrina tree here. Silent and alone. This is a tree in which a BQ sang frequently earlier. But there certainly is no BQ here now (altho there is a BQ singing in distance (about 50-60 ft away) while the female Bari feeds, apparently undisturbed. She flies off after about 2 minutes. Certainly, this female Bari and the BQ(s) around here are not the same individuals I have watched across the highway.
[[left margin]]BQ[[/left margin]]
7:12 2 BQ's flitting about in an apple tree. One or both uttering loud, single "Tit" or "Frit" Notes. Obviously SHN's. One of the birds also has breast and belly very fluffed.

Can't see if it has CR or not. No pivoting. No wing movements.
[[left margin]]BQ Gen[[/left margin]]
I am coming to the conclusion that the BQ does not use its song during disputes. Certainly a difference from some Diglossa (and Corvirostrum???).
[[left margin]]Colibri[[/left margin]]
7:28. There certainly don't seem to be any Glors around here. 
C. coruscans does not seem to be fighting or disputing with any of the local Disglossini. Although they certainly are fighting among themselves and (at least occasionally) chasing smaller hummingbirds.

7:40. Notice that there are quite a lot of Blackburnian Warblers around here. In high scrub and non-flowering trees.
Leaving this area 8:00 am. Going over to usual place.

C. coruscans feeding in usual Erythrina.
