Greenberg 1976 8 melanotus following GRID 2 6/29-1 Coded 7 May 78 29 June I started in the lower right-hand corner of the grid & encountered 3♂8♀+1♀ feeding together at 10/4. After 5 minutes All birds flew to 8/6 or thereabouts, I could see chases between the males All 3 miles back small wuthles → found 2 males +9 on ground feeding & they took off & got into a 6 bril (458, 299?) chased two 8's circled back but following was aborted. I went to grid 3 into territory — I found a bird at 29/6/7, he flew after 2 minutes he towered up several hundred feet and joined another Patrol, a bird Patrol (3) appeared - joining near three 2 birds over village ridge & the bird I was following went out of sight to the Southwest. Another 8 glided by me while I watched all this, but I couldn't find it. I saw a very active male on the N. side of territory 8. (3/7) I followed it.
