1981 R.C. Mumme Melanerpes Formicivorus Low Hay 4 April Start 1345. 1405, ♀523 Dblue/u-DBlue from S Hill sneaks into the granary while ♂307, ♂461, ♀587 Sapsucking. Immediately upon lading in the granary, all three residents fly over, and a ♀ ark (crest raise) chases ♀523 out. I have yet to see ♀515. Interesting how quickly the residents responded to ♀523. They were in the sap tree 80 meters N of the granary. Could they have recognized ♀523 as an intruder that quickly? 1509 1440 ♀523 is back, this time flycatching from the tree from where I watch, the Valley Oak 75m east & uphill of the granary. After a few flycatch sorties, ♀587 flies up and gives a mild chase. ♂307 was in the [illegible], In granary too, but he did nothing. ♀523 flies to the top of Haystack Hill, then garricks at 1506. garricks again at 1508, from very top of haystack. ♀587 remain perched in the tree near me. ♀515 is undoubtedly gone, disappeared on 25 March ± 1 week (last seen 17 March). 1512 Revolution! ♀587 chases another bird from granary, ♀523 joins. Yesirree, ♀509 from Gazebo (Cran-Dom / Yellow) here too, perched for a long time in the tree near me, with ♂461 even 1530, some still garricks on top, (♀523 likely?). Also saw an UBY I think chased by ♂309, but not positive. 1540, ♂461, ♀509 in tree near me, ♀587, ♂307 in granary, and ♀523 (presumed) on top of Haystack. ♀557 Very Friedly, wakding a lot to 307, even or a flycatch sortie
