[[underline]]Inca[[/underline]], Nov. 10, 1955, XII [[encircled page marker 39]]

Have been watching [[female symbol]] H+R again. Top of head + back are slightly ruffled, but this is slight enough, and the feathers are short enough, to render this inconspicuous  Real conspicuous [[best guess]] R begins with scapulars
[[underlined]]Chin smooth [[/underlined]].

[[image sketch of bird]]

Live [[best guess]] is like this.

Underside of wings silvery.  Lighter color is moderately conspicuous when wings are raised during LCN's

V+G by[[best guess]] ruin[[?]]. after retreat, after being attacked

Must mention that St & some [[vertical oval]] reveal yellow between the 2 sides of the lower mandible.

This is sometimes very conspicuous. Probably an important releaser.

V-Gort[[?]] after attack during territorial defense

[[male symbol]] does quick, nervous, but complete, preening, apparently as a response to [[female symbol]] soliciting

V+G after attack during territorial defense. 

Bursts of LCN by neighbors [[and symbol]] disputants. During vigorous territorial disputes. Also other hostile patterns. Haven't been able to see circumstances of these LCN's at all clearly

I have again seen several birds, just "waiting" on rocks, with fish dangling from beaks; most peculiar. Can't be purely a digestive process, as they often regurge again  Appear frozen.
