Mixed Diglossini, Aug. 22, 1965, IV 110   
 
        
nor Humer is very highly motivated now??? (Even tho the Lafs are Singing quite frequently now, the volume of Laf Songs certainly is much less than when I was here in 1962.)
  
[[left margin]] Laf Humer Cy [/left margin]]
Laf-Hummer Song relationships may be just the opposite of Laf-Cy Song relationships. Laf and Humer may overlap when strongly motivated but not when only moderately motivated; while Laf and Cy may not overlap when strongly motivated but may tend to do so when only moderately motivated (Or is this all crap???

[[left margin]] Humer Laf [/left margin]]
7:25 More Humer Songs. NODWA. Humer shuts up. Then Laf Sings. NODWA.
 
[[left margin]] Gen [/left margin]]  
All the local Diglossas seem to overlap Firebelly sounds completely at random. Also overlap Duburia Songs and wren sounds at random.
   
[[left margin]] Laf 47 [/left margin]]
See several ✓✓ Lafs in AS. All alone.

[[left margin]] Blue-wing? [/left margin]]  
NOTE: I have had several brief, and poor, glimpses of several very large hummingbirds around here. Wings are visible in flight. The species might be Patagona gigas. These hummingbirds certainly are feeding
