No sign of a nest, new ♀, or revolution activity. ♂543 sapsucked once from the live oak by the parking lot. 27 May See Fanny Arnold notes: ♀641 intruding there (!), Blk-Yellow/Mauve in the 12 June A quick look here at 1600 ♂541 Valley Oak granary. Also ♂540. 16 June Another look at 0940 produces ♂613 Red-Blue/m, who hasn't been seen in a long time 24 June ditto at 0700, ♂542 (Blk-Dr / Blk). 20 July A full blown watch here, starting 0900. ♂63, ♂66, ♂282, ♂501, ♂540, ♂541, ♂543, ♀614 all see quite well. Birds are doing some sapsucking from the agrifolia overhanging the parking spot on the SW side of the road. → 1020, ♂501 chatters vigorously to ♂282, when ♂282 flew to ♂501 in the sycamore granary. 1040, ♂542 also present. 1050, ♂66 drinking out of a Valley Oak "well", in the medium sized Valley Oak directly across the creek from the sycamore granary. 1100, Looks like ♂613 (who was here 16 June) and ♂616 (who hasn't been seen since I saw him intruding at Gate), are missing. I might bet that ♂613 is still around, But ♂616 is likely to be gone. 1110, well, didn't take long to be proved correct. ♂613 seen in the "flycatch" Valley Oak on Arnold side of the road. Seemed to be chasing somebody, but I never saw the leg of the chased bird. 5 Aug Finch Birds intruding at Rall (see Ral notes). Birds here are virtually out of acorns. ♂63, ♂66, ♂282 here as well,
