[[margin]] Cinn [[/margin]]
6:26. Single Cinn flies by. Perches in several bushes. Alone. Also quite alert.

[[margin]] Ater [[/margin]]
A few minutes later, hear presumed Ater Singing in a bush which the Cinnamon flew over. I.E. territories of Aters and Cinns here are at least partly overlapping.

[[margin]] Ater [[/margin]]
This Diglossa stops Singing. And then I catch glimpse of bird in exact same spot. Feeding on Parufloras. [[underlined]] Definitely [[/underlined]] adult Ater.
NOTE: All the Atlapetes songs heard so far have been series of 3 or 4 Whistles, without terminal R's.
