Continuing. First located by hearing the bird in song north and just downslope of the towers, not far below the line of white tanks that are on the north side of towers. The ridge and west slope just below this point seem to be a good spot to look. Once I found the bird, it flew down a short distance and landed in a grassy area. Another YEJU joined this bird (male and female possibly), and the two birds interacted by almost touching bodies before foraging and feeding on the ground. Immediately after they were joined by the Gray-headed Juncos who fed too. The Gray-headeds were much more skittish of me, but the original YEJU remained feeding very close to me while I lost sight of the other one. The YEJU and 2 DEJUs moved up and south, where they fed on the north side of the towers by the white tanks, where the 2 species seemed to be loosely associating with each other for feeding purposes. The DEJUs were skittish again and flew off pretty far downslope while the YEJU remained. It eventually moved into a juniper where it sang for some time before moving downslope again. As noted from earlier list, the YEJU (both YEJUs today actually) lacked rufous in coverts and tertials. I saw from pictures that YEJUs from both the Catalina and Pinal Mountains have shown this some too, as opposed to the much larger percentage of birds that have rufous in these areas. The singing bird (who I watched most of the time), sang more loudly the first time I saw it in song, and the second time around it sang more quietly. In the 5-6 times it flew away when I was within close distance, it called once in flight with a few notes as opposed to the DEJUs who called alot every time they took flight. If the YEJU called, it almost always came when it was foraging on the ground. I wasn't able to refind the second YEJU after seeing it briefly.
