♀632, ♀1117 ♀632 Red-White / Red-White M 1 Red-White ♀1117 Red / LPink Orange / LPink The history here is a bit murky (see p. 2a); as far as I can tell, ♀632 was definitely here through October 198 Most likely, she disappeared late in the winter (e.g. ~March '86). In April 1986, ♀1117 appears to have moved in; this was consistent with ♂1140 (her son) being conspicuous at the nest at several of the watches. The ♀ was conspicuous at the nest in May; following this no one saw any ♀ here until I caught ♀632 here. Assuming the above is more or less correct, the status of the birds here now is questionable. ♂681 is a breeder. ♂1140, however, is the son of ♀632 and thus is (presumably) either still or once again a helper. The 1st yr ♂, however, may or may not be "breeders", depending on if ♀1117 was really their mother. (This includes ♂1222, ♂1225, and ♂1340.) 6 June I have now decided that, the evidence for ♀1117 having ever been here being so poor, and, given that it just doesn't make sense, I now believe that ♀1117 was misidentified, and that ♀632 was here all along.
