Loddon 1974 March 5 cont. At 1 ate a dried berry, & the John tried to reach one. About 2 min. later I heard him land briefly at the singing feeder. March 12 (1904) - 3+ visits by horn-bills. At first visit observing, the second bird sat on a twig about 8" away from the first on the sport. The second bird then stayed for an unusually long time on the sport - taking at least 5 trips. March 14 (0915) - NIL reports 2 bouts of feeding by horn-bills (first b/ 6 trips & second b/ 3). Then drinking not the first drinks as both were clearly feeding when first noticed. Both seemed very "relaxed" relative to the way they used to be. March 8 (12:15) - NIL saw 4+ feeding bouts by horn-bills. March 17 (1829) - A horn-bill went to feeder once once for 2 visits; Sales phone, H. ~12 ft. away. March 19 (1910). Three visits to feeder & horn-bill (they be only 1 bird as about 30 sec. between visits instead of almost minute's replacement - before when 2 were alternating). March 20 (0852-3) - 3 quick visits by horn-bill(s). April 1 (1921) - a horn-bill at feeder. Went once, took 3 trips, & the second singing. Tilden Park - 2nd. 107 field trip April 27 - S. D.
