1987 M. Stanback M. Formicivorus CVI HNHR 31 Aug 1400 Saw 9 945 LB/W-L. Then I saw my old nemesis 9 BON/M (1170) Perfect view. Then she + two other birds left CVI flew together to the windmill. Then one of them flew back towards CVI (but on the Hastings side of the ditch to chase a scrub jay. What's up?!) Then the other 3 followed that bird. 10 Sept 1700 Suspicious flushing from near weird sycamore hole. * Group Update: 8 1089 and 9 945 present. 87083 9 945 has allowed her sister 1170 to join her, and it seems 8 967 is still attempting duel status at Murf + CVI. 13 Sept 1130-1230 Nancy P. watched the sycamore hole for activity. None. Just busy gathering acorns. She saw 8 1089 and 9 945 15 Sept 1700 Saw 5 birds here !?! 21 Sept 0810-0835 Watched for nestiness. I think they're just into acorns (though maybe mate gravolin - they always seemed to fly off together) There are 4 birds here. I saw 8 967 and 9 945 (I assume the other 2 are 1089 + 1170. 30 Sept 0800-0810. No interest in sycamore hole. 9 Oct 1630 Saw 1089, and maybe another 8 8. Think I saw F 945 at waterhole. Saw J 4 at water. Weirdness. 10 Oct 0800-0915 Saw 1089, 945, 1170, and a 4th bird. 20 Oct 1450 Saw 1089, 945, 967, and a 4th bird. Thus 967 is an integral part of the group.
