[[margin]] Laf [[/margin]] 6:22.  See single Laf silent and alone 3 ft up in scrub.

CORRECTION:  Area where [[underlined]] rufinucha [[/underlined]] heard Singing, and overlapping with [[underlined]] torquatus [[/underlined]], is [[double underlined]] not [[/double underlined]] the same place where [[underlined]] torquatus [[/underlined]] was heard and seen yesterday.

[[margin]] CC? [[/margin]] 6:23.  Hear first CC-like Twitter.  NODWAH.

There are a very great many Rfl's around here this morning.  The [[underlined]] rugroirutatus [[/underlined]] must be in breeding condition.

[[margin]] Laf CC? [[/margin]] Then some Laf Song NODWAH.  Shuts up.

Then some more Twitters. NODWAH.  Shuts up.

[[margin]] Cy CC? [[/margin]] Then hear what is almost certainly Cy Song in distance.  NODWAH.  Shuts up.  Then more CC-like Twitters.  NODWAH.  Shuts up.  Then both presumed Cy and presumed CC utter a few phrases.  Almost completely alternating.  Both there [[underlined]] are [[/underlined]] a [[underlined]] few [[/underlined]] partial overlaps.

[[margin]] Laf Cy CC [[/margin]] It looks as if mutual Song inhibition among the Laf(s), Cy(s), and CC(s) here is [[underlined]] good [[/underlined]] but [[underlined]] not absolutely perfect [[/underlined]].

CC silent.  2 - 10 ft up in scrub.  Picking insects off leaves.  Also feeding red and pale yellowish-greenish-whitish flowers.  [[underlined]] Lauce [[/underlined]] species on which Aters and [[underlined]] rufinucha [[/underlined]] have been seen to feed elsewhere.  CC definitely alone.

[[margin]] CC [[/margin]] Then CC flies away.  At approximately same time, single ^[[checkmark]] [[underlined]] Uroruyias [[/underlined]] appears in exact same bush which CC has just left.  But it shows absolutely no sign of wanting to follow CC.  Utters a few R's  And then disappears.
