Mixed Diglossini, Oct. 22, 1962, IV

quite separate

[[left margin]] Gen [[/left margin]]
This area has very few tubular red or pink flowers. Perhaps surprising to see so many Diglossini around. But the vegetation is quite thick and damp-looking. 

October 23, 1962
Mts. above Bogotá

[[left margin]] Laf Humer [[/left margin]]
NOTE: One point I probably did not make clear in yesterday's notes. The overlapping of "Humer" & Laf songs in the area above Guasca was usually or always due to the fact that one or more Lafs began to sing a few seconds after the "Humer". 

Arrive same place as yesterday p.m. at 5:10 a.m. Still very dark.

[[left margin]] Humer [[/left margin]] Can hear what may be Humer song, with R component, 5:25 am Stops within a few minutes.

Apparently no diglossine song 5:40 am (Rather surprising, as I can hear PL Atlapetes song, B. nigrocristatus song, and probably PR Atlapetes song. Also lots of Fire bellies.)

[[left margin]] Cy? [[/left margin]] 
5:46. 9150 ft. Hear & see single Cy singing (at least I presume it is Cy because it is relatively bright blue - can't see facial pattern). Each phrase introduced by 2 or 3 "Tseet" notes. Main body of phrase usual Cy type: Moderately short (i.e. like song phrases Nono birds). Bird sings for approx. 1 minute. First in low bush, only, 1 ft or so above ground. Then in low tree.

[[left margin]] Cy [[/left margin]]
There may have been a single Humer in the same low bush a
