Mixed Diglossini, Mar. 6, 1966, III     [[circled]]13[[/circled]]

[[margin]] Ater Cinn [[/margin]]

[[mountain?]]. 10,245 ft. Pouring rain at the time. Region of lush, dense, moderately tall second growth scrub. Here I see one Ater, 10 ft. up m. scrub. Silent. Also one Cinnamon Hummingbird which almost certainly is "real" [[underlined]] Aglaeactis [[/underlined]]. Has iridescent back. Perches briefly in small tree, 50 ft. away from Ater. No obvious reaction between the two individuals.
