11 March, cont. seems like GRR and GRA, dominant there last
year, have been completely replaced. I started a
list of dance perches where a turnover has occurred,
just from memory. I'm not sure that we
have positive status info for all these perches,
but what if:
a lost B is replaced, but a lost A
results in total turnover of the
territory-holding pair?
Are there times when a B is sufficiently
experienced/capable enough to become
A, & times when he is not?
It's possible that the birds were this
active before the North Wind began, but
for our purposes, this is the first day of
the breeding season.

Horcancito. We saved money by hitch-hiking
home on the back of Reuben Villalobos's truck,
which was filled with ice for Pollo's trip to
the Secas. Julie & Becca were able to
squeeze into the cab, but Ryan & I perched
precariously on the tarp-covered mountain
