99 Mixed Diglossini, April 3, 1965, IX [[margin]] BQ [[/margin]] 3:24. Adult BQ visits Erythrina. Feeds on flowers. NOD. Quite silent. Only stays a minute. [[margin]] Bari [[/margin]] 3:26. ♂ Bari visits Erythrina briefly. Utters loud single "Tsit"s at rather regular intervals. NOD. Flies off in direction "original" Bari area. [[margin]] Gen [[/margin]] 3:35. Hear what sounds like Songs tanager LXXVI (Delothraupis type) coming from tree which has been visited by Glor, BQ's, and XCC. (Non-flowering.) Unfortunately, I can't see bird now. Most songs like those heard a couple of days ago. But a couple of phrases with many more "Zeeeee" Notes (up to at least 10 or 12 in one case.) 4:00 pm. It is now cloudy, but still windy. Getting cold. [[margin]] Glor [[/margin]] 4:06 Glor back in Erythrina briefly. NOD. [[margin]] Bari BQ [[/margin]] Surprise! 4:11. ♂Bari lands in tree. Silent. Alone. NOD. Feeds very placidly on flowers for some time. Then an adult BQ lands in tree. Only 6 inches - 1 foot from ♀ Bari! The ♀ Bari stops feeding and looks intently at BQ. BQ just stands there, apparently quite unafraid. No display by either bird. This continues for almost a minute. Then the BQ gradually, slowly moves off to far side tree. I lose sight of it. ♀ Bari resumes feeding as (and where) she was before. Continues for some minutes. Then flies off into "original" Bari area. So the ♀ Bari certainly does not always attack BQ's. [margin]] Bari [[/margin]] Thinking it over, it is really amazing how many specific contacts here have involved Baris!!! [[margin]] Gen Bari [[/margin]] 4:28 ♀ Redstart in tree briefly. No Diglossini around. There both ♂ & ♀ Bari appears ♂ utters occasionial "Tut." NOD. Then both fly off into "old Glor" area
