30 January Just decided that there's a new group here in proximity
to Blomone, based on the 25-26 Jan. ambush (see Blomone
notes). This group consists of B1063 and 2 ♀♀ (now
1457 and 1458), and I presume it formed during The
24 Sept. 1987 power struggle (maybe this caused the
cower struggle?).
25 April 9:30. 2 birds up at Far Knoll (along with a Lewis
Woodpecker!) flew back to Blomone when flushed. Does
this mean this group is defunct? No nest found yet...
and it sounded as though the birds were greeted when they
arrived...
24 May Mark found the nest here-they moved over by the road and
have it in the Blue Oak, very close to Blomone's nest and gravany.
