whom.

All this time, White spectacled continues to approach. Also continues
[[margin, in red]] Ruf [[/margin]]
to Sing from time to time. Songs NODWAH. Rufs also utter more "Greeting" Twitters. NODWAH. I.E. [[underlined]] not [[/underlined]] overlapping Whitespectacled Songs. 

When White spectacled Songs are only 20 - 30 ft away, Rufs suddenly
[[margin, in red]] Ruf [[/margin]]
fly over in their direction. CII's f [[right pointing arrow]] Rufs. Then I see 2 Rufs and 2 White-spectacleds close together 10 - 15 ft up in AS tree!

[[margin, in red]] Ruf [[/margin]]

[[underlined]] I think that the Rufs and White-spectacled must be said to have joined one another!!!

NOTE: While I am writing this account, I get several more glimpses of both White spectacled and Rufs. [[underlined]] Sometimes close together. Sometimes far apart. [[/underlined]] 
[[margin, in red]] Ruf [[/margin]]
White spectacleds continue to Sing from time to time. And Ruf also utters more "Greeting" Twitters. Quite variable (described elsewhere). And there are absolutely [[underlined]] no [[/underlined]] overlaps between their vocalizations! [[underlined]] I.E. there seems to be mutual Song inhibition
between Ruf and White-spectacled!!!

Certainly, the Rufs, CII's, and Whitespectacleds must be onsidered 
[[margin, in red]] Ruf [[/margin]]
to have formed a real, organized mixed flock. But it was extremely variable, in degree of coherence. [[underlined]] Sometimes [[/underlined]] very [[underlined]] diffuse [[/underlined]]. (Probably the Whitebeards also were "real" members of the same sonal group.)

[[margin, in red]] Ruf [[/margin]]

The Rufs may be just as "strongly" Allogregarious as [[underlined]] sitticolor [[/underlined]] forms on WCC's, insofar as they react to (and with) other species approximately as frequently. But they apparently differ from both [[underlined]] sitticolor [[/underlined]] forms and WCC's insofar as they do
not always keep as [[underlined]] close [[/underlined]] to other species. They apparently do not become "upset" at being left alone temporarily,or being separated from their companions by distances of 50 - 100 yds.

[[margin, in red]] Ruf [[/margin]]
[[underlined]] I suppose that this is what one would expect of a commensal
species in an environment where flocks often are diffuse. [[/underlined]]
