1981 R.C. Munne Melanerpes formicivorus Keep Out 10 Nov To my considerable astonishment, I take a peek on the west side of the granary here and find about 30 stored acorns! See Lambert notes for additional confusing details. So far, I have not seen any birds working the granary or otherwise appearing as if they belonged there. 3 Dec 1045, Lots of acorns here! Somebody is here. 1200 watching, the situation is confusing. Only ♀568 wht-Mauve/M Mauve-wht/wht-Mauve (for sure) and ♀680 Yellow/LBlue-Red (I think) have been in the granary. (Both from Al). Both looked like they were eating, not storing. Also, their sib ♂566 Blk/or-Blk wht/Blk-or- has been around. For good measure, ♀659 M / "" "" of SOBO was flycatching 100 m W of the granary. When she approached to within 30 m, she was chased by ♂566. So is it all Al birds? Also, ♀652 Yellow/M was flycatching 100 m W of the Keep Out granary, but I suspect that she's at Lambert. 1330, Flycatching 35 m SW of KO are ♂566 and ♀680, again. I guess these 2 different-sex sibs are here. Quite a bit more watching needed. 1400, another SOBO bird, M/LBlue-Blk ♀658 LBlue-Blk/LBlue, and a ♀NB, too. Did not appear that the ♀NB was "with" the SOBO pair, but it was hard to tell. 11 Dec Counted stores: 150 total. Still lots of room. See Al notes for thoughts on this "group"
