[[circled]] 114 [[/circled]] Mixed Diglossini, Sept. 2, 1965, VI Glor(s) have visited this side of the ravine occasionally this morning; they have not gone into the bushes and trees favored by the Cy(s) - in spite of the fact that they visited these bushes and trees frequently a couple of days ago.) [[left margin]] Glor [[/left margin]] It is my impression that Glors are much less "dominant" than all or most Aters I have seen. (Vizalio the Glor - Blue encounters seen a couple of days ago.) Is this because they also are persecuted by LCH's??? Or are they intrinsically mild??? [[left margin]] Carbonaria [[/left margin]] If both Glor and the (northern) Brun are intrinsically mild, this might explain why they have been replaced by Ater and [[?]] in the course of evolution!!! [[left margin]] Coer [[/left margin]] The absence of Coers here this morning is not necessarily very significant. They probably are with flock downhill.

I probably have been misled by the [[?]] high quality of the "taseee" Notes in the Cy phrases. [[left margin]] Cy Scan [[/left margin]] 8:22am. Cys Singing again. At first, NODWAH. Then Scan starts to Sing downhill. Completely overlaps Cy as usual. Then White-spectailed also starts to Sing downhill. For a while, all three species are completely overlapping one another. [[left margin]] LCH Cy LCH Cy [[/left margin]] LCH back in area 8:33. Nothing else visible at the time. Then it flies off. And immediately Cy reappears and goes [[nito?]] favorite trees. Silent and alone. Then another small hummingbird (juv., probably all other species) appears in same tree as Cy. Cy attaches it. The hummingbird retreats a few feet. Cy goes back to feeding. Then LCH appears. Immediately attacks the other hummingbird and drives it away. LCH persues the other hummingbird for a few feet or yards, and then returns to tree where Cy is still feeding. Then there is brief dispute between
