1983 R.L.Mumme M. formicivorus Arnold I (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.
