Calyptramma
Jan. 16 U.C. Campus, Berkeley,
and song one round regular territorial
song, then to B and the circle song,
by which time I had with Brown, and he
resumed diving, did so three times, then
to B where he perched quietly. Throughout
this time the second B remained in the
position, his back to the sun, his face and
bill directed upward. After about 15
seconds #1 flew into a Japanese
quince and was feeding. Chipping
bush did so. Male 2 then
flew directly to that bush, remaining
perched a moment, then flew
N-ward around the NW corner of
Wheeler and disappeared. #1 followed
2 seconds later came to an evergreen
some 50 ft. N & A, and perched there
for a minute or so, quietly. He then
made a large circle in the opening
between buildings (library, old adm., and
law), singing on wing and returning to
C. I left him.
Jan. 2 December stormy and rainy. No display
noted. First hummers in regular
drive-display behavior seen today this
season.
