[[Margin, in red]] Albi [[/margin]] Then hear another Albi uttering R's. It is my impression that the Albi's up here are uttering R's more frequently now than last week. Response to a spell of good weather?

6:45 a.m. here all be ours fairly low in scrub only about 50 – 100 ft from
[[Margin, in red]] Albi [[/margin]] where Cy heard and seen singing a few days ago. NOTE. In case my preceding
[[Margin, in red]] Cy [[/margin]] descriptions and comments are not clear. Of course, Cys pass over Albi territories when they are in mixed flocks. But it also does appear, definitely, that the Cy territories (as distinguished from their ranges with mixed flocks) may [[underline]] also [[/underline]] "over-lie" Albi territories, [[underline]] At least partially [[/underline]].

See single sooty thrush alone.
[[Margin, in red]] Albi [[/margin]] of course, I am using the term "territories", of Cys and Albis, in a very "presumptive" sense. I have not actually seen any territorial defense.
[[Margin, in red]] Cy [[/margin]] I am using it to include the areas in which individuals habitually remain, at least as long as they do not associate with mixed flocks.

Well! Well! Well! 6:58. There is a [[male symbol]] Albi here, in Alpine scrub,
[[Margin, in red]] Albi 89[[/margin]] who has been hanging around the neighborhood for some time, 4 – 15 ft up. Definitely alone. Uttering quite a lot of R's from time to time. No Intro note(s). Then suddenly I look up, to see a Coer (I am almost completely certain
[[margin, in red]] Coer 90 [[/margin]] of the identity of this bird – I saw the Diglossopis type bill – and the bird was almost certainly too light and dull a blue to be juv. Cy) in a small tree, only about [[underline]] 10 ft from where the [[male symbol]] Albi was at the time [[/underline]]! Select. Picking insects off leaves. [[underline]] The two birds seem to pay absolutely no attention to one another [[/underline]]. [[male symbol]] Albi continues activities as before. Continues to utter R's, but no more or less frequently than before. Coer remains pretty consistently 8 – 10 ft above ground. Then flies off. [[male symbol]] Albi pays no attention. Feeds on tubular red flowers (so the Albis here are [[underline]] not [[/underline]] purely non-nectivorous either). Then more
