[[circled]] 69 [[/circled]] [[margin, in red]] Ruf [[/margin]] tly looking for insects in the same places as the CII's!!! [[underlined]] I.E. the 2 species probably compete with one another to some extent. [[margin, in red]] Ruf [[/margin]] Once, one of the Rufs utters "Greeting" when landing near the other Loud, moderately long, "formless" Twitter. [[underlined]] General effect very much like a loud Cy Song without Into Notes. [[/underlined]] NODWAH [[margin, in red]] Ruf [[/margin]] Ruf-CII group is gradually working its way [[underlined]] down in the general direction of where Whitespectacled and Humer were heard to Sing. [[[/underlined]] But still far away as yet. Then the 2 CII's start to dispute among themselves. Lots of chasing and supplanting. Accompanied by [[underlined]] soft Twitters [[/underlined]] by one or both birds. Then both CII's fly away. Long distance to one side. [[underlined]] Rufs do not follow, and no not seem to mind being left alone!!! [[/underlined]] [[margin, in red]] Ruf [[/margin]] [[margin, in red]] Ruf [[/margin]] Then CII come back. I.E. CII's j [[right pointing arrow]] Rufs. Group continues as before. Gradually down hill. At same time, White spectacled begins to Sing again. NODWAH [[underlined]] And I can tell that the White spectacled is gradually moving up hill, toward the Ruf-CII group. [[/underlined]] During this whole period, I have been able to hear Whitebeards occasionally. Presumably some of the birds engaged in fight earlier. [[margin, in red]] Ruf [[/margin]] Abou 30 - 40 ft from Rufs and CII's. [[underlined]] Apparently making no attempt to join Ruf-CII group; but also moving down hill, on more or less parallel course. [[/underlined]] Then the CII's begin to dispute among themselves again. Again eventually fly off to the side - more or less in direction of Whitebeards. Again Rufs remain behind, apparently unconcerned. [[margin, in red]] Ruf [[/margin]] But [[underlined]] then they suddenly fly off in same direction as CII's. [[/underlined]] I.E. Rufs f [[right pointing arrow]] CII's. When I get down to area where birds went, I find the 2 Rufs, the 2 CII's, and 2 Whitebeards, all more or less together, 2 - 6 ft up in scrub. [[margin, in red]] Ruf [[/margin]] Ruf j [[right pointing arrow]] Whitebeard. Then all the birds begin to move around quite rapidly. Sometimes close together, sometimes far apart. I can't tell who is following
