Mixed Diglossini, Apr. 16, 1965, II. 42 [[left margin]] Laf? Coer [[/left margin]] from Coer. No reaction between the two. Then Coer moves off, not fast, in normal feeding routine. [[left margin]] Coer [[/left margin]] "Coer" definitely supplanted, twice, by Humer or Laf. 6:15 [[left margin]] Gen [[/left margin]] God! The birds are active this morning! At least as active as yesterday. And God! There are a lot of them. [[left margin]] Humer [[/left margin]] Every once in a while, one or more Humer(s) fly(ies) off into adjoining low scrub. Looking for insects. One also hops along almost bare ground 6:20 am. One bird twice utters very brief, obviously low intensity Humer-type twitter while in scrub. Then flies back to Eucalypts. [[left margin]] Humer [[/left margin]] God! There are a lot of hostile chases among the Humers in the Eucalypt. [[left margin]] Humer [[/left margin]] One Humer makes fly catching flight from tree. [[left margin]] Laf [[left margin]] 6:23. See one bird in Eucalypt which I am sure is Laf. Feeding silently on flowers. No other diglossine approaches it during the few seconds I have it in view. 6:25. Hear a few "Zhaa" type Notes in Eucalypt [[left margin]] Laf Humer [[left margin]] Presumed Laf supplants presumed Humer. Silently. Hear a few bursts of twitter from trees. Humer, Coer, or Cy. Definitely not Laf. [[left margin]] Coer Humer [[/left margin]] Watch Coer (definitely identified) feeding for a couple of minutes. Most of the time not close to any Black Diglossas. But once, for some seconds, feeds only 6" from a Humer (definitely identified). No overt reaction between the two birds. I.E. again, this shows that the Humers do not regard the Coers as full members of their own species. [[left margin]] Coer [[/left margin]] The Coer(s) seem to be sticking, pretty much to the upper half of these trees.
