All the birds settle from puddle (6) come to the area occupied by E, M + W. Wantried to squeak, 2 at the saw brick left but a bird (T.) remained until after the armadillo left. No feeding occurred while the arm. was there. However, immediately upon its departure, rate of squeaking went up, + the birds started aggressing. "I was chased by M toward E, which then chased it out. W, M + E assumed the same spatial relationship that had held previously (we were able to follow individuals) + within 10 minutes it was apparent that the same borders had been re-rouned. 1140 all these birds ceased feeding + began to preen. W started, followed by the other two in less than 30 sec. But preening was done in their respective territories.
