Mixed Diglossini, I  October 27, 1962
Mt. above Bogota

[[left margin]] Humer [[/left margin]] 
Arrive same place yesterday afternoon 5:15 am. Still fairly dark. Humers singing already. Most songs still with sub-terminal R. 

Lots of overlap in songs of neighboring Humers.
    
No "Laf" song where "Laf" heard yesterday afternoon 5:28.

There are really lots and lots of singing Humers here.
  
[[left margin]] Humer [[/left margin]]  
Songs not accompanied by special postures (no belly fluffing). No special movements

[[left margin]] Humer [[/left margin]]
Humer songs frequently overlap songs Firebellies and/or wrens. 

[[left margin]] Laf? [[/left margin]] 
First hear "Laf" song 5:43 am. Same place as yesterday. In first interval of Humer song. Then "Laf" stops, Humer starts again immediately. "Laf" seems to be quite far away from any singing Humer. "Laf" may be in spot where small trees are higher than in most parts of this area. 

[[left margin]] Cy Humer [[/left margin]] 
5:50. Single Cy singing repeatedly in tops of a few eucalyptus trees here. Song typical of local population. Begins to sing where Humers are silent. Then alternates phrases with one or more Humers. Some occasional slight to moderate overlap. When Cy shuts up, Humers continue to sing. 

[[left margin]] Humer [[/left margin]] 
5:56. Seen aerial song by Humer, just as in Merida.

[[left margin]] Humer [[/left margin]] 
Humers are thick on the ground!! Some territorial males on stations only 10 ft apart. Population is as dense here as any population of carbonaria I have ever seen

Transcription Notes:
Deleted indents - not needed. Question on one word after the word "Firebellies". Looked up words like uresis, ureses, areus, arens. No luck. ---- "wrens" :-) grey-bellied flowerpiercer (Diglossa carbonaria)
