User's notes
A strange encounter between the Baldys and the pair who have been using their hollow from last season. They chased each other around a number of trees in the area, complaining loudly. They eventually ended up in the same tree where the two males tore at loose bark while the females looked on. The encounter was vigorous, but didn't appear to be hostile. Both pairs retreated to their own sites at the end.
