(26 May) 9505's departure, to "greener pastures".
③ After going elsewhere 1000-1100, I return at
1100 + find 9568 has returned (at least temporarily)
to Al. She and 9761 appeared to be restoring order,
had routed the intruders to the periphery, and were
walking with the ♂♂ freely.
The ♂, not
surprisingly, seemed to take no part in helping the ♀♀.
It will be interesting to see what happens here
4June 1130, I walk by + find the place completely quiet.
Obviously, this has been resolved. We will have to
watch here soon to find out for sure.
20June Watching here, 1615: Slow, but I do see 9568 m-w / w-m
for sure (both eyes appear healthy again) so she
did not move to Black Oak. ♂762
Also.
23Aug Interesting watch here, 0745 - 0930: Only
three birds seen, but one is 9505 wh/cPik,
who has indeed come back to Al. 9568 and
♂679 also seen well. The 3 birds were busy harvesting
t eating some Q. chrysopis acorns from above the
Al granary, one of very few trees that seems
to have any acorns at all. Lots of Scrub Jays
around, too.
