[[circled]] 18 [[/circled]] Mixed Diglossini, Oct. 23, 1962, III but neither of the latter were visible or audible at same time. [[left margin]] Laf [[/left margin]] There seem to be several Lafs around here singing from time to time. 6:40 am There are also a lot of migrant warblers around here. [[left margin]] Humer [[/left margin]] 6:45. Hear several bursts of what sounds like "Humer" song yesterday. Brief, like songs heard yesterday, but with little or no R component (a "seeeee" in place of R – possibly a low intensity "int. mov." of R). Can see these are uttered by black Diglossas, but can't see the birds well enough to make absolutely sure of their specific identification marks. [[left margin]] Ruf [[/left margin]] Rufs seem to have disappeared from area now. Probably comparatively mobile here too. [[left margin]] Ruf? [[/left margin]] The long R's heard earlier may have been uttered by hummingbirds, not Rufs. 6:50 Can hear more Laf songs uphill [[left margin]] Cy [[/left margin]] 7:05 Now I think I can hear a Cy singing in this area a little distance downhill. [[left margin]] Laf Cy [[/left margin]] Burst of "Laf" song seems to stimulate presumed Cy to sing. Overlap. Then "Laf" stops, "Cy" continues. [[left margin]] Humer [[/left margin]] 7:15 Definitely see a Humer in this area. Silent. Alone (?) All the Humers here seem to be remarkably silent, skulking, nervous, & active. [[left margin]] Laf [[/left margin]] "Lafs" still singing quite frequently 7:17 [[left margin]] Humer [[/left margin]] Again see definitely identified Humer feeding low in scrub. Apparently feeding on insects. [[left margin]] Laf Humer [[/left margin]] Have several times heard "Lafs" sing when I thought there were Humers in area. But have not seen such incidents clear
