[[margin]] Ater [[margin]] it. Then Ater Sings one phrase. Flies away. Leaving Firebellies. ^[[4 checkmarks above Firebellies]] definitely alone. Then they fly off too.

[[margin]] Scan Ater [[/margin]] [[underlined]] rufinucha [[/underlined]] still Singing. NODWAH except Scan. Then Ater Sings in distance. [[underlined]] Complete overlap [[/underlined]]. Ater shuts up. [[underlined]] rufinucha [[/underlined]] continues. NODWAH except Scan.

NOTE: There are not as many flowers here now as later in the year. Some small tubular red flowers.  Apparently no Passifloras

[[margin]] Ater Scan [[/margin]] 6:35. Aters silent now. [[underlined]] rufinuchas [[/underlined]] still Singing occasionally. NODWAH except Scan.

[[margin]] Ater Scan [[/margin]] Then [[underlined]] rufinuchas [[/underlined]] shut up and Aters start again. NODWAH except Scan. Then shut up.

Lots of white tubular flowers here. Usual species. But I have yet to see anything feeding on them

[[margin]] Cy Scan Ater [[/margin]] 6:42. Hear Cy Singing "Tut" Intro Notes NODWAH (except Scan part of the time). [[underlined]] The main body of Song phrases are very Ater-like now [[/underlined]]!! (Contrast with my observations during my last visit.)

[[margin]] Cy Ater [[/margin]] Then [[underlined]] rufinucha [[/underlined]] starts to Sing. [[underlined]] Overlaps Cy apparently at random [[/underlined]]. Again & again & again. Then Cy shuts up. Then [[underlined]] presumed [[underlined]] Ater begins to Sing. Also overlapped by [[underlined]] rufinucha [[/underlined]] at random! Then both species shut up.

[[margin]] Ater [[/margin]] See a single Ater ^[[2 checkmarks above Ater]] fly by. Silent and alone.

See some more Sooty Thrushes alone

Also hear lots more Greetings by more [[underlined]] rufinuchas [[/underlined]]. There are lots of highly motivated inds. of this species around here now!

[[margin]] Lesbia Ater [[/margin]] 6:56. Further down path Single [[underlined]] Lesbia [[/underlined]] perches 6 ft up in scrub. At same time, single Ater flies into low scrub 12 ft away. No apparent reaction between the 2 birds. [[underlined]] Lesbia [[/underlined]] flies away.

[[margin]] Scan [[/margin]] Scans seem to have shut up now 6:58
