Media notes

Two males in apparently aggressive encounter. Singing and flying from one perch to another.Doing displays when perched on same perch -- one male would be singing on a perch, the other would fly to that perch and both would do bowing displays with tails up, head down, and then would fly off to another perch and sing and they would repeat. Did it several times, and then finally separated and went to different trees and gave the one-note calls. Seemed like aggressive interaction with displays, but not really chasing. Made contact with each other a couple of times. About 3 other whistlers in the area also singing.
