Balanosphya formicivora
Hastings Reservation
(6 Aug) a complete turnover of the Arnold I birds.
② A large group of males from UA2 has
taken over the A1 granary. This included
(minimally) 81140, 81222, 81225, a-d 81027.
All 4 of these birds were seen well and repeatedly in
the A1 granary, wakaing, chasing intruders, etc.
Three other UA2 birds were also seen briefly,
could have Jav.1402 * 81340 Blk-wht(n)/M, 81026 Lgreen/LPink, and
A1 Juvenile (8?!) 1380 M BIK-Lpink/Black
/Red-DBlue.
③ With the UA2 8s a group of 3 89 from Keep Out.
81220, 81330 81332. All 3 seen well and
repeatedly in the A1 granary.
④ 8100 (sob!) appears to be gone. No sign of
him at A1 or anywhere in the vicinity. 8505 wnt/cpak
however, still lives. She was hanging out well North
of the A1 granary (downhill side of Big Tree) with
Juv 1402 DBlue-Mauve/Black No evidence of
any other A1 birds around, although a 8ma without
cards was hanging out with 8505 and J1402.
Apparently, 8505 was evicted by the 50 89
after the death of 8100 and the ensuing power
struggle. No idea what has become of
89 568 + 1319 a-d Juvs. 1400 +1401.
7 Aug Watched at CV Grande 0600-0900, looking for
Juv. dominance interactions, with No luck: the juvies
deldom perched together anywhere, and when they did,
I saw no interactions. They also spent quite a bit of
