At LHay power struggle 30 March, seen at Gate 4 April (Katy), gone by 12 April. Left group? 2 new ♀♀ seen here 27 April, → Moved here ~20 April This allows the young 88 to inherit. ♂1315. Last seen 12 April, gone by ♂1313. Here 30 April, gone (prob.) by 4 April! (Katy). 6 June Ambushed this morning at The Live Oak hole; caught ♀1315 (only bird There). 13 June Ambushed this morning at the low hole in The dead limb in the Sycamore, catching 3 birds (all banded): ♀1108, ♂1312, and ♂1313. 30 July 600. This time a successful ambush at the high sycamore hole. Unfortunately 1 bird (The ub ♀, apparently) got away. Otherwise 4 birds, inc. ♀1097, ♂1312, ♂1313, and ♂1106. 3 August *Group Update* ♀1097 is back! Returned between 15 July - 30 July. Her return (she is the former breeding ♀ here) prompts me to wonder what's up with the 2 ub ♀♀. Maybe they originally kicked her out, but now that one of them is (apparently) gone, maybe she's back. In any case there is still 1 ub ♀ hanging around, but maybe not for much longer?
