Three individuals were collected while they were competing for territory near a dead tree located on the hilltop about six meters above the ground at 15:00h. All individuals presented the behavior of landing on the trunk of this tree with open wings, as recorded by Brévignon and Gallard (1998), Gallard (2008) and mentioned by Hall and Willmott (2007).
