Mixed Diglossini, Aug. 25, 1965, IX

[[left margin]] Cy EC [[/left margin]]
away; but, on its way, makes a "semi-swoop" at hummingbird!!! Silent. Hummingbird ducks; and Cy flies on. (This semi-swoop must have brought Cy within 2" of the hummingbird!)

[[left margin]] EC Black[[/left margin]]
5:15. Same hummingbird makes silent Swoop, obviously attack, on some Black Diglossa✓✓(84)  low in scrub. Attack silent. Diglossa moves on, but only a few inches. And hummingbird goes back to its "lookout".

[[left margin]] Ec [[/left margin]]
This hummingbird has bronze on belly. Possibly white under tail coverts (and/or lower abdomen), as well as leg plumes. Certainly bright violet blue under surface tail region.

Leaving 5:22 p.m.

[[left margin]] Albi 51 [[/left margin]]
A little further along, see single ♀  Albi ✓(51). Alone. 3 ft up in thick second growth scrub. Utters lots of "Tsit" Notes. Apparently "mobbing" me. Also doing lots of WF and TF. White flank patches revealed very conspicuously by WF's. Bird eventually moves off. Starts to feed. Picking insects off leaves.

Transcription Notes:
Do you think the researcher marked the check in pencil then went back and used the green pencil to show that the check matched whatever the number means, being as they are the same color? So, are there two checks, or just one? Don't know. Look at the red check below, looks like she just went over the original check with the red. She probably put the margin notes in after writing all this, so color coordinated the checks with numbers.
