13May. 11:10 (Continual) Ending observations. Again, as
I recall from previous obs (29 April-6 May), I saw
some aggression between two birds. One bird
chased the other briefly. I have never been
able to ID either of the individuals involved,
but I wonder if these birds are the breeder
male etc (1808) chasing a former helper male
(2311 or 2312), and keeping them away
from the new breeders 9's—and making it
so that I have not been able to ID either
2311 or 2312 since before 29 April.

enough branch.
