1981 R.C. Munne Melanerpes formicivorus Blom-one 4 Aug Start 0745. 0840, God, confusion reigns supreme over at Blom 2. In the B12 nest tree, I find good old ♀478 DBlue-or/DBlue-or. I See her waka in rather friendly fashion with LBlue/M ♂493 LBlue/LBlue. On top of that, we have here Juv. 679 LPak/Mauve metal/Mauve from 1500 (♂). He was picked at a bit by ♀478, but seemed to be friendly with ♂493. How do they know that they are sibs? (So much to think about, haha). Perhaps they were "introduced" by ♂623, although I have not seen him yet. Also another strange ♂ (or well-advanced juvenile) that I couldn't identify (DBlue/M). I've also seen ♂492 in the very nearly dead Blue Oak near the pond, and in the Blom-one granary. For additional confusion, I keep hearing occasional garridos coming from Blom One. Also, I saw a bird (I think ♀478) enter the Blom 2 1980 nest hole for a few seconds, Gooz Louise! Hope I can figure this all out. I have to wonder if ♀478 has been in residence at Blom 2 since June (I saw her here 0930). These 3 birds still about Blom 2, End watch. ?/ ? 1125, an unidentified bird. BPink/Metal (Red/Metal?) (Mauve/Metal) Couldn't get the sex, harritting 75 m N of the gazebo. Who could that be? Possible ♂570, but I thought the color was more red than mauve. 20 Aug Start at Blom one 0730. Well, ultimate confusion. I find little activity at the granary, but I hear/see lots of action on Big knoll (Not Blom one) wandering up there. I find ♂492 M/B1K, and ♂649 //DBlue, a few unbanded birds, including some Juv's that might have come from Blom 4 or CV 2.
