Macleay 1969 Tryngites subruficollis 9 June FAP saw at least one and probably more fly over the Drum Area. 11 June Just after we reached Britton's area in the morning 3 birds flew in from NW and landed near another bird ca. 80 m. from us. One of the birds began wing-waving, and, after ca. 1 minute, rose into the H Display . the others moved in and the displayr enveloped at least 1 of them, with another very nearby. this was repeated, and then the sequence was completed as the display er prostrated himself and 2 of the others got onto his back. the birds then flew away toward the south. FAP and B.Berry also witnessed this display, and Bill made some excellent sketches.
