Mixed Diglossini, Oct. 26, 1962, II 

ft. Uttered by bird at least 35 ft above ground in tree. Bird is too far away to identify. But certainly small & dark. Flies downhill after uttering about 4 phrases.

6:25 am Neither the "Laf"(s) nor the "Humer"(s) in this area utter any songs when a noisy mixed flock passes thru the area. But one of the "Laf"s sings immediately afterwards.

All the local diglossini also silent when second large mixed flock comes thru 6:50

[[left margin]] Albi [[/left margin]]
7:15 8225 ft. Hear a bird uttering long R's in low shrubbery, under trees, in wet area. Like R's of Albis in Merida. Possibly even longer, more mechanical, more furnariid-like. No special introductory or concluding notes. Then see bird, vaguely, hopping around. At least once actually on ground. Between R's, as it moves around, utters brief irregular, very soft, absolutely mechanical sounding Tsll's. Then bird flies up into tree, 20 ft above ground, and I see it is a male Albi. Feeds on small, tubular, yellow flowers continues to utter soft irregular tsll's. Then flies away (slightly up hill)

[[left margin]] Albi [[/left margin]]
8:17 8125 ft. See a pair of Albis hopping thru uncovered shrubbery and flying from bush to bush. Utter lots of moderately short R's. Just like the low-pitched R's uttered by birds near Merida. Also, apparently, a few "Tsit"s

[[left margin]] Albi [[/left margin]] 
A few minutes later see single male Albi hopping thru bushes, pausing to utter long R's (just like ones heard earlier this morning) from time to time

[[left margin]] Albi? [[/left margin]]
9:00 am. Another area 8475 ft. Hear quite a lot of Albi songs by at least 2 birds near edge of road.
