Mixed Diglossini, Feb. 13, 1964, VI.
[[circled]] 31 [[/circled]]

[[margin]] Gen [[/margin]] It would appear that R Songs are the most common song type around here.

[[margin]] [[underlined]] Bari [[/underlined]] [[/margin]]
Looking over my earlier notes on Baris in Colombia and Venezuela, I see that all the birds sang only Twitter Songs (as far as I was aware), some with R components in the Twitters, some without. It is possible, therefore, that this Chachapoyas area is meeting place of two types, one northern (Twitter Songs) and one southern (R Songs).

Going to walk up in direction of same area this afternoon. Leave hotel 3:05 p.m.

Exploring various bypaths.

[[margin]] CC [[/margin]] 3:17. Find CC (definitely identified) singing about 20 ft above ground in a dying, almost bare, Eucalypt. Simplest song phrases:
"Tucka tucka tucka"
Presumably a form of Triplet Song. Some phrases longer, including 4 or 5 "Tucka"s. No other diglossine audible or visible at the same time.  CC soon shuts up and flies away.(Incidentally it also had pale buffy gray breast).

[[margin]] Bari [[/margin]]
Then I hear Bari-type R's not too far away. Only 2 or 3. Then silence.

3:40. See a single [[male symbol]] Yellow Grosbeak alone

[[margin]] Brun [[/margin]] Arrive (first) Bari-Brun-CC area 3:55. Nothing moving

Then see Brun song flight. In Brun area. Note: All the song flights I have seen in this area have been high & spectacular

[[margin]] Bari [[/margin]] Then Bari [[male symbol]] sings on Agave leaf. All songs R. And this is quite definitely an [[underlined]] adult [[/underlined]] [[male symbol]]!!!

[[margin]] Gen [[/margin]] It is my impression that—in this relatively low region around Chachapoyas—the different species of diglossines tend to stimulate one another to sing, even though they don't overlap songs. I.E. the sound of species A singing
