[[circled]] 122 [[/circled] Mixed Diglossini, Sept. 4, 1965, IV [[left margin]] Cy Laf [[/left margin]] Lafs. But all the these "supplants" probably were "inadvertent". These [[hole so unable to read]] Cy just "happened" to be "in the way" while the Lafs were chasing one another. [[left margin]] Laf Cy [[/left margin]] Thus, it seems quite possible that Lafs do not always ignore Cys here in the way that the particular individuals did this morning. [[left margin]] 16 cy Laf [[/left margin]] Nevertheless, the Cy apparently disappeared from this area after about 5-10 minutes, altho the Lafs and all the other birds of the mixed flock remained in the area for a long time afterwards. I think it is quite probable that the Cy was "frightened off" by the Laf hostilities, even though the latter really were not defeated toward itself. [[left margin]] Cy Laf [[/left margin]] NOTE: One point may not be absolutely clear in the preceding account. The Cy and Laf territories or [[rauges?]] here certainly are at least broadly overlapping. And apparently not at all stratified, at this particular cite. [[left margin]] Albi? [[/left margin]] NOTE: It is quite possible that the "Albi-type R"s heard earlier this morning really were uttered by the Little Striped [[Hycatitiers?]]. The mixed flock became suddenly more "coherent" - i.e. all the birds came closer together - ca. 7:30 am. But still quite "stationary" on the whole. Then it started to move down hill, as a group, ca. 7:40. When it started to move, the Little Striped [[Hycatitiers?]] were in the lead. Followed by the B. [[?]]. Followed by all the others. All birds 1-10 ft up. [[left margin]] Laf 18 [[/left margin]] The Lafs definitely went with the flock, for a while. But they apparently did not follow it very far. I.E. they "fell out" when the flock paned beyond their "territories". But the disputing, at least the chasing and the supplanting, who apparently stoped when the flock moved on. [[left margin]] Laf [[/left margin]] Several Lafs certainly continue to sing at rather frequent intervals after flock has left. NODWAH.
