80 replaced by
(See 6 June) { 8924 and 8926, moved here (???) between
4 Nov and 10 March '87, → (? ? ?) but activity
there on 1 March suggests it was then that They
moved.
6 June * Group update *
Although 8924 was seen here at the 1 March power
struggle (by Kati), The entire affair appears to have been a red
herring, and 8100 is still here.
3 August After looking this over, especially the fact that Kady
claims to have seen 8924 here several times in
June, I looked at the records and am quite certain
it's 8762 instead, whose bands fit the bill as well
as being an Al nestling (from '82, but still...)
So, I'm returning this bird as of 1 March.
7 August 1430. Aftermath of power struggle here, which Ron noted
a couple of days ago (yesterday?). Birds are scattered
around over at Big Tree and up by Keep Out, as well as here.
Occasional outbursts of Waking, but not lots of activity or
much chasing.
Most activity at the moment is up at Big Tree area:
① 07 BIK/DB
② 8 Yel:/LG
③ 4 Yel/DG-Yel
④ D5-B-4PA (???) /M
⑤ D5-DB-Yellow / LB
