The peculiar hunch with ruffle (H&R) is a form of FB apparently.  Saw a [[female symbol]] do it to a [[male symbol]], for several seconds, eventually inducing  [[male symbol]] to mount.
  The head movement, especially when there is only one isolated low-intensity movement, is quite reminiscent of short distance HB (i.e. head-bobbing in the Bh.G.)
   This copulation was apparently preceded, by several minutes, by the presentation of a fish.  Unfortunately, I did not see the intervening patterns.
   The usual M.C. appears to be mutual chattering (Cht), with both (|) and low phases (__).  This may be followed by some sort of V & HF; but I am not sure about that.
   Cht. is perhaps less aggressive than LCN.  It is my impression that LCN is particularly likely to precede attack.
  A flying bird charging me is apt to give LCN.  Aerial attack call is perhaps a version of the LCN.  Perhaps particularly loud, harsh and rattling, with sort of "tik" in it at the climax of the charge---tah-er
   Ordinary LCN might better be transcribed as "aaanh", (Boston accent a)
