78 Mixed Diglossini, Apr.21, 1965, III. [[margin]] Gen [[/margin]] Apparently the various nectarivorous species around here do very little inter-specific disputing at dawn. [[margin]] Humer [[/margin]] There are at least 6 or 7 Humers in this area. [[margin]] Humer Scan [[/margin]] One Humer supplants Zonotrichia while ignoring 2 Scans which are as close or closer. [[margin]] Bari [[/margin]] [[underlined]]♂[[underlined]] Bari feeds in large Abu while Humers and Scans both apparently absent. Then flies away when orioles arrive. [[margin]] Bari [[/margin]] A minute later, see ♀ Bari feeding same place. Again Humers and Scans both apparently absent.

But once, she lowers her head, spreads her wings horizontally, and raises her tail diagonally, when they come too close to her. [[margin]] Bari [[/margin]] Then ♀ Bari flies off into non-flowering tree. [[margin]] Bari [[/margin]] Is Bari here more insectivorous than the Humer and Scan. Remember the ♂ Bari seen yesterday spent comparatively large amounts of time in the conifer-like tree. [[margin]] Scan Bari [[/margin]] 6:38. Scan feeds on chorrillo flowers (i.e. flowers supposedly preferred by Baris). 6:40-6:50. Go for small walk. Two other small gardens, full of red and yellow Abus, chorillos, and other flowers, only a couple
