1983 R.L. Mumme 4 M. formicivorus Buckeye 31 July Watching here, 1640: 1740, Nothing. I also check upon all the holes (just in case) but nothing there, either. 7 Aug Finally, a good watchup here 0710-0840. Here are the highlights: ① ♂252, ♀N13, ♀664 +♂665 all seen very well ② The bad news is that ♂252 has lost his left (metal banded) leg, so he is now a look-alike of ♂58 at Wgate. Too bad, but he seemed to be getting along OK without it. However, that may explain why Buckeye's two nests (or at least one) failed. ③ A UR Juvenile was hanging around getting chased a bit, but he clearly did not belong to Buckeye. ④ 0840, Seen the above 4 birds several times now, + nobody else. All 4 together in the granary at 0830: ♀666 (not seen since March) must certainly be gone, ♂663 probably so. Buckeye not abandoned fall '83. By spring 84, contained only ♂252 and ♂665
