Mixed Diglossini, May 23, 1966, V
[[circled]] 68 [[/circled]]

[[margin]] Scan Bari [[/margin]] At this time, the Bari is feeding very [[underlined]] low [[/underlined]] in scrub about 10 ft away. Probably partly hidden from Scan. Scan sits for some seconds. Then, suddenly, an inter-specific dispute breaks out. Scan certainly the aggressor. Pursues the other bird. Again, I couldn't absolutely identify the pursued during the chase. But I [[underlined]] think [[/underlined]] that it was the [[male symbol]] Bari. Certainly [[underlined]] the [[male symbol]] Bari had gone by the time the chase was over [[/underlined]].

[[margin]] Bari Scan [[/margin]] 9:47. [[male symbol]] Bari back. No Scan close by at the time. Bari utters lots of R's. All completely overlapped by Scan Songs 30 ft away Then Bari disappears again.

[[margin]] Bari [[/margin]] 9:54. Same area. See medium small hummingbird (certainly [[underlined]] not [[/underlined]] Scan) chasing another bird. [[underlined]] Again, [[/underlined]] it seems [[underlined]] probable [[/underlined]] that the pursued was Bari!

[[margin]] Bari [[/margin]] It looks as if Bari may be "low man on the totem pole" here - just as in Bogota!

[[margin]] Brun? Scan [[/margin]] 9:58. I hear what [[double underlined]] may [[/double underlined]] be Brun Twitters in far distance. All completely overlapped by Scan Songs.

[[margin]] Bari Scan [[/margin]] 10:07. Scans temporarily silent. [[male symbol]] Bari re-appears usual area. Perches 5 ft up. Utters R after R. All NODWAY [[underlined]] One R seems to be followed by "Zee zee zee." [[/underlined]] Then Bari flies off. Scans start singing again. NODWAH.

[[margin]] Bari Scan [[/margin]] [[male symbol]] Bari back again a few minutes later. Feeds low in scrub. Utters a few R's. All completely overlapped by Scan Song.

[[margin]] Bari [[/margin]] Then, 20 ft away in same patch scrub, [[underlined]] I see what looks like juv. Bari being fed by [[female symbol]] [[/underlined]] !!! Juv. doing Wing-Q. Apparently silent. Both birds disappear from view immediately.
