1981 R.L. Munne Melanerpes formicivorus School Hill 3 July Watching here 0545. No luck. Both Javs, 9260, 8402, 836 all seen, but no dominance. End 0730. 9 July Trying again from bottom of the hill, 0645. 0715. Damn it, more iffy dominance. 8402 feeding both J668 & J669 in the granary. My view was lousy, but I think I saw J669 pecking J668. Shit! I wish I could see one clearly. 0800. Boring, leaving. No, right as I leave, I finally see it! J668 Blk-green/Black is pecked most certainly by another J, which has to be 669. Finally! That goes against my initial impression, but now I'm confident that J669 > J668 29 Aug Start 0815. 0915. Birds flying around a lot on the upper end of the [illegible] field, but little action in the granary area. 886 cp.k/m, 9260 " /m, 8402 Yellow/DPnk all seen quite well and I'm pretty sure that I got a look at J668 Blk-torn/m Blk-torn/Blk as well, in either 8 or still juv. plumage. At least 4 birds seen together at once in a VO toward the top of the field. 0955 Everybody shows up in a VO in the eastern edge of the field, eating green acorns. J668 confirmed, plus J669 m /or-ogue Complete census, Irickon End 1000. These guys definitely do not have a fall nest, and I see no 9 following or anything to suggest that they soon will. Also, J669 looks like he is definitely in 8 plumage, but I'll have to check later to be sure. ** 6 Oct Group update: 9523 + 9604 -- Moved to watched Group (Low Hay) 17 July ±2 weeks Both of these 99 were with S1hill birds at the Y on 2 July; First
