1984 R.L.Mumme M. formicivorus Fanny Arnold 2 Jan Here with Beth, 1300, looks like the situation described by Susan + Sandy is still j- effect 3 99 are here (9834 Red/Blk-white, (9796? M/Light-Oak?), and third 9 L-D /m, presumably the one banded by Susan). All were quite conspicuous flycatching, occasionally moving across around + working stores. Also seen less conspicuously were two 88, one of which was 6681 Yellow/m of UA2. He was seen sitting on an acorn storage limb with 9834, with the other two 99, the other 8 was seen only once, and bands were not seen, but it had a flat head and long bill similar to that of 8123 of UA2. I suspect that these two 88 are still shuttling back+ forth from UA2+ FA. A third intruding 8 (banded, but not identified) was here briefly as well, at which time all five birds rallied to the defense (all five residents seen simultaneously at that time). 12 March At 0900, Philip + I release the 3 FA 88 (8835, 8797, 8940) back at Fanny Arnold. All 3 flew strongly to the granary area. Followed by wakas and a few drases, the details of which I could not ascertain. 8940 may not actually belong here, as there was no indication of a 8NB here before the ambush. It may be just a wayward rooster. 1030: Seems like its over. The 3 88 seem to have been remembered by the 99, and 6681 seen hanging out- the periphery. Aviary 88 seen eating catkins. Seems like its all over. See Philips notes
