two adult males, one bobbing giving quiet song type vocalizations with mimicry from an exposed perch on top of short, 2 m mesquites, trying to intimidate another adult male, which is then chased off with rattles and audible wingbeats, a female present throughout this in nearby mesquites; mimicry might include Gila Woodpecker, American Kestrel, and Ash-throated Flycatcher;

much mimicry from an adult male 15 m up in a cottonwood, then a sycamore, under the canopy, giving brief song phrases; interval shortened at 4:50 by 25 seconds to remove a partial annotation, then more typical song; mimicry perhaps includes Curve-billed Thrasher, Piranga sp., Brown-crested Flycatcher, and Gila Woodpecker; very few species of 'real bird' in the background;

one-year-old male song including much appropriation; 2nd recording of this individual

bird-seen:yes

playback-used:no

an intense interaction between an adult male and another Hooded Oriole, down low inside mesquites, very physical with audible wingbeats, and much rattling, but not much other vocalizing; ad male then returned to the sycamores; timing is around the end of usual dawn song period

bird-seen:yes

playback-used:no

one-year-old male singing from an exposed perch on the top of a short mesquite in mesquite scrub; now about 20 minutes before sunrise; much appropriation again; as general comment, in any given year, I am recording just two or three individuals of this species in Portal, but on many dates; 4th recording of this bird on this date

bird-seen:yes

playback-used:no

not seen, presumably an adult male that I have been recording regularly, based on location inside clump of introduced Arundo Cane/Elpehant Grass in a ranch yard (and if there are occupancy rules, it is Bird No 2 of other recordings, but I am not sure the rules always hold, and its vocal appropriations sound like those of No 1???); much appropriation, including Cactus Wren, Brown-crested Flycatcher, Summer Tanager, and the Lesser Goldfinch/Kestrel type motif; best after 4:40; [annotation to recording at 4:59 suggests that this recording is of No 2]
