[[margin]][[image - triangle with red mark above]] [[/margin]] Mutual V.

[[margin]] 3 vertical lines and vertical crosshatch pattern [[/margin]] SS = one side-to-side turning

[[margin]] 3 vertical lines and vertical crosshatch pattern [[/margin]] Inside of mouth is pink or salmon colored.

[[margin]] 3 vertical lines and vertical crosshatch pattern [[/margin]] [[image - sketch of bird with mouth open and wings up, flying]]. Usual LCN posture in air, almost no stretching of neck.

[[margin]] 3 vertical lines and vertical crosshatch pattern [[/margin]] Watching a [[male symbol]] making circular flights during pairing. Quite extreme. Several times circled over general area where [[female symbol]] remained; also made huge irregular circles in all directions. [[underline]] Rapid flight [[/underline]], (quite the fastest I have seen), [[underline]] but with normal wing-beats [[/underline]]. An occasional slight trace of erraticism. One shallow but long glide [[image - downward arrow at approx 45 degrees with bird]] [[underline]] Very frequent LCN's [[/underline]]; but from an unritualized posture, only stretching the neck straight forward a little. One definitely chased another flying bird, in an apparent case of redirection, for about 20 yds. Once the [[female symbol]] flew up after him, rejoined him when he landed; but I didn't follow her behavior in flight.

[[margin]] vertical crosshatch pattern [[/margin]] Didn't count mutual displays on ground between the above flights; but they were of the usual sort. First V&HF&SS, etc. Then walking around in V, with perhaps fewer HF's & SS's. One or two times of M (probably silent) Then [[male symbol]] 
[[margin]] 3 vertical lines and vertical crosshatch pattern [[/margin]] did O - slight L; [[underline]] with no trace of T [[/underline]]. Then more of "V complex"; (i.e. V&HF&SS)
