In general, the birds act much as one would expect at this time of year - virtually no response to squeaks or singing owl calls; foraging is very active, individuals staying in one place only a few seconds at a time, especially due of the smaller species. Considerable song from Salvatoro and from a bird I have not yet attached to its pro-minent to often heard song.

All birds show at least a few sheathed body and/or head feathers. The flogons were even more difficult to skin than usual because of the very fresh plumage, the feathers not yet firmly set in their follicles. Yesterday saw a scissor-tailed fly-
