1986 M. Stanback M. Formicivorus PIPE 9 June 1000 Banded 3 babies 1316 Red Forhead 1317 Blue " 1318 unmarked " 21 June 1500 Baby still in nest 3 July Pipeline birds are hanging out at Blm ! See notes! 25 July 1600 Added 400 valley oak acorns to the artificial granary here. There have not been any birds seen here in awhile. The granary was empty (totally) when I climbed the tree. 26 July 0800-0900 well, well. I guess that even if a group abandons its territory, it keeps tabs on it as well. There were 3 birds here upon arrival (the ub 4, babies 1316 r (1317) The ub 4 showed up around 0830, was present 4/1 I left at 0900. There were 3 intruders. One was a ♂ with * M/Bk-W(♀). It sat quietly at the periphery and left after about 10 min. Another * intruder was a ♂ w M/Bk-O or maybe M/Bk-Pink. He landed in the granary and was chased away by the ub 4. A third intruder (unidentified) landed beside the 2 babies and was chased by them. In general the Pipe birds seemed quite in control and at home. They were not removing many of my acorns (r those removed were restored) * ♂ 1183 a pipe bird - not seen since April * Baby 1315 from gate (but with adult eyes)
