ably like F of Bhg. Managed to hear sound accompanying HB; an extremely soft "wah", repeated with each down beat. (When a neighbor intruded, the [[female symbol]] turned to face it, [[underline]]continued H & R & HB[[/underline]] but sound became intermediate between normal HB sound & LCN. The high plaintive LCN I mentioned earlier). Noticed that [[female symbol]]'s abdomen feathers also ruffled during H & R & HB. Wings [[underline]]not[[/underline]] drooped.

Usual [[male symbol]] response to [[female symbol]] was agg V. & retreat. Occasional semi - HF movements.

[[male symbol]] responded to intrusion by F & Cht. [[underline]] Once went down into H & trace of R [[/underline]]. Then [[renewed? / resumed?]] F & Cht.

Noticed that when [[male symbol]] was running away from [[female symbol]], when he was in agg V, his scapulars were slightly raised, as a [[tract?]], but no sign of R. 4:05

Usual St., when not a "silent [[horizontal oval]] or LCN", is rather short-necked. Like a V posture superimposed on an F

This whole Cht performance is remarkably like both the Glik of Franklin's Gull & the Ch. of the Kittiwake. Call itself is probably strictly homologous with Glik of Franklin's.

Birds very often do St, and nothing else, when landing amidst their fellows in a communal area. Then begin to preen immediately.

Long continued & sustained G in LCN type O posture. Wings raised each time as bill opens. Looks, in fact, just like extreme LCN, but certainly silent or call at least as weak as HB call. This pattern can't be too low-intensity, although presumably weaker than LCN itself.

Transcription Notes:
The opening "ably" is a carry over hyphenated completion from the last word on edit page 18 "remark-".
