[[sketch of bird in flight]] Aerial ft. posture

[side note with 3 heavy vertical line with hash grid to right]] Given once by bird escaping from another that had seized its tail in mid-air.

Aerial ft. given by bird after being shared by another, when the original had flew ahead overhead then bill opened, still in ft, [[underlined]]an LCN noise uttered[[/underlined]]!! I think the birds separated after this. The bird who did ft. in air landed,gave brief ft., eventually continuation of aerial ft. it had renewed after LCN. Then relaxed.

[[side note: asterisk communal]]

[[penciled oval]][[horizontal penciled oval]] & Cht performance appears to be the usual display toward flying birds by a bird on the ground. At least, quite common. Sometimes Cht with F instead, I think

Bird circles in "vibratory" flight(call it Moth flight)after aerial flight. About 4 times, then begins to fly normally, with flock. No trace of ft during this Moth flight. 

Went back to blind. Visited a couple of times, but birds gone most of the time. Back to communal area, 10:05 a. m.
