1987 M. Stanback M. Formicivorus Finch (16 May) During my watch, a bird went to the traditional nest hole once. But (another) bird visited a hole somewhere above on the same limb. No one visited the hole in the base of the arc limb guanary across the road. 19 May 1530 Checked the traditional guanary hole - empty, and didn't even look that great.) 27 May 1030 Bird in the ladder hole. *Update* New power struggle here (what is going on??) See Katy's notes. Looks like no breeding folks. 17 Aug Watching the lone snag downstream from Finch proper and seeing 2 NOBA 88 with a 9 bonded MUL. I assume these are R1 birds. 19 Aug am Went up hill and Found Road Warrior, there were lotsa NOBA 8 r-9 having a power struggle. 23 Aug roosting - I hear birds at Finch (From R1). They're leonish. 25 Aug 1545-1630 Saw 8 1075 and a NOID 4. 26 Aug 1425-1505 Saw 8 and 9 988 From MacFlat (she was the breeder there) Is she now the Finch breeder? 9 Sept 0900- 0920 Saw 4 988 (KTM) and 8 O-KTM = 613(?).
