the hummingbirds appeared to ignore it! Possibly Cys are too large to be very attractive as objects for attack??? But after the Cy left, the various hummingbirds began to fight among themselves. Probably both [[underline]] inter- [[/underline]]

and intra-specific swoops and chases; and I think that some or all of the hummingbirds

also made inhibited attacks on the Whitestripe (which is larger than the Cy) during the general commotion. 

Whitestripe eventually moves off; but hummingbirds remain. Still disputing. Quite noisy. 

Incidentally, this Whitestripe may have been juvenile. Its superciliary stripe was yellowish. (But I am sure of my identification. Bird quite different, in shape, from [[underline]] Barileaterus [[/underline]].)

Hummingbirds stay around for some minutes Then a [[red check mark]] [[underline]] Thlypopsis [[/underline]] appears, briefly, 5 ft up in bush 20 ft away. Apparently attracted by hummingbird sounds. [[underline]] Utters several R's. [[/underline]] Louder and probably harder than all or most Albi R's. Then disappears. (This bird probably also juv. Orange cap incomplete.)

At which point, 7:12, rain begins to come down in buckets and I have to suspend observations. Walk on down road a little.

7:20 See another ♀ ^[red check mark]] Albi, 4 ft up in scrub below trees. Definitely not same individual seen before (too far away). Silent. Disappears. 

[[margin, in red]] Albi [[/margin]]
Albis may be common here! Incidentally, I have seen more red, pink, and orange flowers around here than anywhere else in the Farallones.) It is interesting that they did not join mixed flocks yesterday. [[margin, in red]] Cy [[/margin]] 
Albis [[underline]] do [[/underline]] seem to be less allo-gregarious than Cys - at least in Central and Western Cordilleras. 

When I first arrived here this morning, I heard a number of R's at
