Mark, more random field notes 1987 Ronald L. Grinell Balanosphyra formicivora Hastings Reservation (6 Aug) a complete turnover of the Arnold I birds. ② A large group of males from UA2 has taken over the A1 granary. This included (minimally) 81140, 81222, 81225, and 81027. All 4 of these birds were seen well and repeatedly in the A1 granary, wakaing, chasing intruders, etc. Three other UA2 birds were also seen briefly, This could have been Juv.1402 * 81340 Blk-wht(n)/M, 81026 Lgreen/Lpink, and of A1 Juvenile (? ) 1380 M BIK-Lpink/Black /Red-Dblue. ③ With the UA2 8 a group of 3 99 from Keep Out: 91220, 91330, 91332.

No idea what has become of 99568 r 1319 a-d Juvs. 1400 +1401. 7 Aug Watched at CV Grande 0600-0900, looking for Juv. dominance interactions, with No luck: the juveniles seldom perched together anywhere, and when they did, I saw no interactions. They also spent quite a bit of
