1980 R.L. mumme 4 Melaneipes formicivorvs 1800 (4 July) J561's eye is very light, I first thought him an ad O. 2 1/2 * Finally 1800, J561 pecks J565 white, hard, 2 times. later, J563 gives J562 a quick peck. That fills in a few more holes. End 1900. 6 July Start 1440. 1530 J563 nails J564 3 times (hard) as being fed by O476. Before, J562 begging from O476, J562 flew to them, but did not press the approach (unfortunately). 3 1630 - wow A veritable flurry of Juv. domineering. J562 >> J564 3 times J562 pecks J565 4 times J562 pecks J561 2 times J561 pecks J565 2 times J563 pecks J561 1 time Good n, but no interactions I hadn't already seen. 1715, J564 > J565 1730. Great, a good J562 dominates J563! J562 approached J563 (who had just pecked a J.?), J563 withdrew head, sawing beneath branch while J562 landed in the spot J563 had just occupied, then J562 made a quick but definite jab at J563. Success! Also, 2 cases of J563 >> J565 one via a peck, another via subordinate behavior by J565. That means the only cell I lack is J561-J564, End watch 1750. 2. 7 July One more time 1540. One more J563 > J564 at nest hole. And I think I finally have finished her,
