See Nest record & Capture records 5 June Counted stores 1730: 2° grana-- 100 1° grana-- 1600 TOTAL 1700 Also, a nice looking juvenile was looking out of the nest hole when I arrived. 18 June ** GROUP UPDATE ** ① 9523 disappeared ~ 2 June 1982 Last seen at nest by Leslie 30 May. Gone by 4 June 19 June Up here watching for juveniles, am to be certain that 9523 is gone, 0900-1020: Not a great watch. 9524 the only adult seen for certain, but 3 juvs seen, J770 LBlue/M, J773 Red/Pbom, and a 3rd that I couldn't get the bands of. 3 July 0900-1000, watching her for juvenile dominance. Some success. On two occasions I saw J772 Or/M yellow peck hard at J774 Blk-Blue/M, while 9524 was nearby. J770 also seen. No evidence of a second nest 15 July Poor watch here, 0715-0845, trying for juvenile dominance. No real success other than a possible 772 chasing 771 around the 2° area a bit. That was quite iffy though, and didn't see it well at all. Complete, Census 8461, 9523, 9587, J770, J771, J772, J774 all there: possibly gone
