Balanophyra formicivora
Hastings Reservation
(6 Aug) a complete turnover of the Arnold I birds.
② A larger group of males from UA2 has
taken over the A1 granary. This included
(minimally) ①1140, ①1222, ①1225, and ①1027.
All 4 of these birds were seen well and repeatedly in
the A1 granary, waking, chasing intruders, etc.
Three other UA2 birds were also seen briefly,
This could have
been Juv.1402
of A1
* ①1340 Blk-Whit(n)/M, ①102b Lgreen/LPink, and
Juvenile (①?) 1380 M /Blk-Lpink/Black
/Red-DBlue.
③ With the UA2 a group of 3 ② from Keep Out:
②1220, ②1330, ②1332. All 3 seen well and
repeatedly in the A1 granary.
④ ①100 (sob!) appears to be gone. No sign of
him at A1 or anywhere in the vicinity. ②505 wht/CPak
however, still lives. She was hanging out well North
of the A1 granary (downhill side of Big Tree) with
Juv 1402 DBlue-Manue /Black
Blk-Whit(n)/M. No evidence of
any other A1 birds around, although a ① without
bands was hanging out with ②505 and J1402.
Apparently, ②505 was evicted by the AO ② after
the death of ①100 and the ensuing power
struggle. No idea what has become of
②568 + 1319 and Juvs. 1400 +1401.
