1987 M. Stanback 6 M. Formicivorus KOUT HNHR Seen since 870620, we would have noticed an influx of birds. 20 oct 0740-0930 Census: NOBA 9, 1127, 1221. J 1382 is a Male, as is J 1383. Maybe saw 1016. Not a great census. At one point a starling went to the 87 kolo and was inmmed chased by ACW. Several times birds seemed to fly to the high roost hole, but my angle was bad. I helloed the hole afterward - nothing 1010-1045 Watched hole. Nothing. I will assume no nest. C'mon, these are new 99, and it's 20 oct. * Group Update * NOBA 9 5281 moved in 870801 ±1w 9 5282 also became breeder 870801 ±1w. All ♀ H became breeders. All ♂ H became breeders All 870801 14 Dec Acorn Count: Main gran: 4970 burned live oak: 475 Fallen limb from ↑ (still viable): 191 total = 6312 → skinny tree w cut off stump: 146 (+ ARSW?)= 1450 deal limb (hi v vertical towards ARSW): 120 total? 7762 " (hi v vert) towards mystery limb: 110 mystery limb (caught in fork) ARSW? 1450 tree behind : 300 A little later I stopped to ID some birds: saw 1127, 1382, 1219, 1381, ♂ BYN , a NOBA 9 twice - one time she was chased by a banded bird. Saw NOBA a third time, I think. Problem is, I'm pretty sure I saw 9 739 ♂BYR . If she's alive, this explains why 1381 stayed. ** New Update: 739 never died. NOBA 99's only seen on periphery. All helper ♀ reinstated as helpers.
