1987 M. Stanback M. Formicivorus CV 2 H N H R 7 Jan 1330 Acorn Count: 2008 (not very accurate) After counting I noticed an ACW in 86 nest hole 27 Jan 0600 Ambush! Last night I saw 4 birds (seem to be only 4 in the group) go into nest hole. Couldn't resist. Did a pole ambush this am, about 0530. I wobbled an one Flushed. We heard it (I think) later after it got light, so I don't think it was eaten by owls. Anyway, the hole had 3 birds - one NOBA ♀ and the two we caught last time (♂ 1372, ♂ 1373) Katie reports NOBA 99 is (at least one) at this group. So who is this ♂? And where were the 99's? 3 Feb 1700 Saw NOBA ♀, a banded ♀ (?), a male w DB-LB on 10ft (?), ♂ ? Pretty Fucked up, huh. OK, here's my guess as to this group. A banded ♀ is mom (570). Daughter from the missed 86 nest is the NOBA ♀. The 3 NOBA ♂'s are either Breeding Males or Sons. My guess is breeders → since there is no obvious Dad. But see Sue's nest watch notes! 11 Feb 1000 Acorn Count: 2761 24 Mar Saw NOBA ♀ 5199 2 April no mate guarding (reports Gyndy) 3 April 1045 2+ way acorn count: ~ 1802 5 April 1300 Short, unsuccessful mate guarding watch. Lotsa starlings. Built a wood r bark blind at the base of the fallen tree
