Mixed Diglossini, April 17, 1965, IV

[[left margin]] 33 Cy [[/left margin]]
left. Possibly some Atlapetes . Certainly some Diglossine(s). Hear a lot of twitter phrases coming from inside bush. Two types:
"Tsee tsee tsaweeyoo" and
"Tsee tsee tsaweeyoo tsaweee[[squiggles]]yoo"
[[left margin]] Cy [[/margin]]
Both types of phrases certainly uttered by same species. Identical in tone and loudness. After a minute or so, I see that the Firebellies have come back to this area. Hopping about silently.

[[left margin]] HO VII 43 [[/margin]]
Well! Well! 7:25. See real mixed flock. See pair of PR Atlapetes hopping thru scrub one side of road. Probably same pair seen earlier. Then see pair PL Atlapetes, hopping thru scrub other side of road. At least 25 ft behind the PR's, but moving steadily in same direction. Both species occasionally uttering loud twittering phrases as "gree
