1987 M. Stanback M. Formicivorus Murf H N H R 7 Jan 1415 Acorn Count: BISON Ivy tree 86b = 44 lean log tree 86a = 40. Total = 84 Actual total may be less as most of the "acorns" seen were broken open shells w unk contents. Important note! Upon arrival an ACW flew From Murf to CVI. A little later a bird From Murf flew to Blm 3 ! I suspect Murf has gone extinct, CVI has taken over, and the CVI birds are wafting. Just a theory. 11 Jan 1500 So much for my theory. Saw ♂ 967, and (♂) 1338. No sign of a female. 2 Feb 1200. I think I saw 1089 (saw ♂ w DB, W on left) at CVI but I also saw another ♂ 967 From Murf at CVI's granary. I also saw 4 birds up on Murf Knoll. There was also some chasing. What's up here? I severed all the poison oak vines at the base of the 86b nest tree. Maybe that will free up some holes. 3 Feb 1530 Saw 1338 and a couple other birds. Didn't seem to be hanging out at CVI 25 Feb 0930 Saw ♂ Y BK'BL who is this (♂ 967) involved in a chase. These guys are hanging out in the big valley oak at the top of the knoll. Hotsa starlings (v bluebirds) here. (♂ 966) 967 was also at CVI, sitting peacefully w CVI ♂ and an N01D ♂ who followed 967 back to Murf.
