[[underlined]] Complete overlap. [[/underlined]] But flock apparently not present! I think two of the local

Lafs are engaged in a boundary dispute. Then suddenly one 
[[margin,in red]] Cy [[/margin]]
Laf flies into same tree as Cy! Only 4 ft away.  Cy singing.  Laf silent.  Laf just looks at Cy.  Cy continues singing for perhaps half a minute.  Then Cy flies away.  Laf f ^[[right arrow]] Cy! Apparently "escorting".  But then the two birds separate.
[[margin,in red]] Cy [[/margin]]
Cys singing again 7:18.  Then a Laf starts to sing again in distance.  Complete overlaps.  But apparently random.  
[[margin,in red]] Laf [[/margin]]
Can't see that one species is stimulating the other.

Both species moving around a lot.  Their territories still seem 
[[margin,in red]] Cy [[/margin]]
to be completely or almost completely overlapping.  And I have seen both species 
[[margin,in red]] Laf [[/margin]]
feed on same tubular yellow and cup-shaped red flowers.  Also, around here, they both seem to be ranging thru same heights vegetation (1 - 20 ft - i.e. the complete range available here).

Overlaps songs still continuing 7:20.
[[margin,in red]] Cy [[/margin]]
I think Cys show a tendency to retreat whenever a Laf sings particularly closely (within 20 or 30 ft).  Laf certainly the "dominant" species here.

7:24.  Fight between 2 Lafs.  With "Seeet" and "Tuck" notes.
[[margin,in red]] Laf [[/margin]]
Everything quiet 7:30.
[[margin,in red]] Laf [[/margin]]
Then Laf sings [[underlined]] This seems to stimulate Cys to sing [[/underlined]] !  Overlap. Then Laf shuts up.  
[[margin,in red]] Cy [[/margin]]
Cy continues.  Then Cy shuts up.

Going down road 7:32, to see if I can find a mixed flock.
[[margin,in red]] LAf [[/margin]]
No! Just as I start to go, complications arise.  Laf sings
