1979 Ronald L. Mumme 34 Journal Tastings Reservation, Monterey County, CA (24 Aug) Helped Walter set an ambush at Road 3, and later watched roosting there, seeing seven birds go into the ambush hole. 25 Aug A successful blood ambush at Road 3, getting blood from the core birds. Caught 6 birds, only one baby. Later watched up at the Arnold, slept some, had cake + lemonade with Pam and Walter, then watched roosting at Westgate. 26 Aug Successful ambush at Valhalla, followed by a visit to the Arnold, which produced a mini-revolution at UA2 and more bad craziness with Bianca - Black Oak - CA2. Collected bugs in the afternoon, the Walter + Pam had Nancy and I up for a very nice dinner at Red House. 27 Aug Administrative matters took up most of the morning, but I did watch some at Finch. Sorted bugs in the afternoon, then had an interesting and productive discussion with Walter about statistics in the reproductive success paper. Watched roosting at School Hill West. 28 Aug A basically unsuccessful watch at Buckeye in the morning, but I did see a Prairie Falcon, a Mourning Dove Nest (on ground), 1 ground-dove sized nestling, under fallen Blue Oak branch) and the tail feather of a Golden Eagle. Mostly lounged around in the afternoon. Pam + Walter dined with Nancy and I in the bunkhouse. Started reading "The Boat" 29 Aug Ran errands in Monterey - Pacific Grove in the AM, buying boots and registering my car (getting Cal plates). Chatted with Walt about the post-doc model in the afternoon, then set up an unsuccessful ambush at School Hill West (birds didn't go in).
