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).

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,
