[[underlined]] swering Laf song! [[/underlined]] Then Cys disappear up hill.

Certainly, for a brief moment there, Cys and Laf were [[underlined]] treating one another as members of the same species.  But apparently only for a moment. [[/underlined]]  Was this "mix - up" (?) due to the fact that they were brought "too" close together (which in turn due tot he fact that they were both attracted to mixed flock) ???

See Laf in scrub now, 6:32, after Cys have disappeared. NOD.  Mixed flock seems to have disappeared.  Oh my god! Now hear and see Cys only 30 ft from Laf.

"Territories]" Laf and Cys here now seem to overlap completely.

6:37.  See Laf feeding yellow tubular flowers.  Cy(s) singing 20 ft away.  Laf flies in direction [[underlined]] away [[/underlined]] from Cys.  Cys shut up. Laf flies to top small tree.  Begins to sing.

Can hear flock coming back now.

Laf shuts up.  Cy immediately begins to sing!  Laf flies to tree 10 ft away.  Silent.

Then [[underlined]] Ruf [[/underlined]] j ^[[right arrow]] Laf.  Lands only 1 ft away.  Laf apparently ignores it.  Then Raf flies on.  Laf does [[underlined]] not [[/underlined]] follow.

Whole group definitely back 6:40.  Now includes a pair of of PL's as well.  Cys in middle group.  Doing a lot of singing.
Then Cys fly away from group.  Followed by [[underlined]] 2 Lafs [[/underlined]], but nothing else.  Cys feed on cup shaped red flowers.  Silent.  Then 1 Laf apparently pounces upon 1 Cy! Obvious attack.  Followed immediately by burst of Laf song.  then the two birds separate.  Pair Cys goes in one direction, pair Lafs the other.

These Laf attacks on Cys might well be redirection.  Outlets
