"Heavy", though late most X. Outward section
1/2 C.
Since the 8th, found j's clearly. The
occupant of a new territory, who has been
calling repeatedly from postures peculiarly
at odds with his, or calling from the ground
as if forages casually.
A calls strongly when detecting an intruder.
One such seen to leave from the top of the
fall sidewalk soon after calling began, and
to fly non-stop to south.
Sept 13. - Two j's present, both calling!
Sept 4. - Male consistently present. And
today a second, clearly smaller bird,
is also present, moving slowly and
not close to the male or in felders along
Hillgate, next four turns. A is on ground
foraging and calling intermittently, in series,
while I is about 20 feet from him, on
the eastern 10 minutes (I called away overall
and gave both guys' notes 3 times per request).
No response from A, who continued calling.
Later that day (~6 p.m.), two guys present
in back yard. A calling, I "tagging along"
at some distance, give guy's note one.
Sept 5-6. Two guys seen on 5th, but no association
developing, no interaction seen. A seems to
move about independently. On the 6th
Awards bird not been.
