A few days ago on a stroll on the western side of Mount Taylor in the same area where a few weeks ago I encountered a group of about 20 green Satin Bowerbirds (that were there still / again), I watched one all blue Satin Bowerbird fly into a tree top, followed by another all blue Satin Bowerbird, then one flew off to another tree top, again followed by the other and I saw a bit of exaggerated back and forth bowing display before they again both flew off. Obviously among the thick foliage, I could not keep track of who was chasing the other, if that is what it was. I don't know but it looked more like an aggressive encounter than anything else. I have never seen 2 all blue Satin Bowerbirds together before.
