1987. M. Stanback M. formicivorus Y H N H R 6 Jan 1430 Noticed 3 birds at Y. I flew to Plge, the other 2 sat on the barn and in the gran locust. These 2 were ♂♂, and one was making juv noises. No acorns here (despite my supplementation of several hundred — all stolen by Plague birds — which are hanging out in Walters yard somewhat). # roost holes 22 Mar 1330 Supposedly Plge birds (helper? ♂♂) have moved in here w the Y♀. Well, I saw the 2 Plge Breeder ♂♂ here, and also heard some other ACW's in the broken live oak and maybe even up on the knoll. Oh yer, I did hang a dog Food dispenser up here about 1 week ago, but it's been raining and I don't think anyone touched it. I'm preparing a dog food log now to teach them the wonders of dog meal. 23 Mar 0715 Positioned the dogFood Feeder right beside the Food log — hopefully they'll learn before it's all soggy. 24 Mar They've learned. The ♀, a Plg ♂, and a NOBA ♂ are here 25 Mar ♀ flew to the immediate area of the 95 sycamore west hole at 1345. By the time I got a good view (1 min) she had flown from the nest area to another part of the syc. She then flew back to the barn. 30 Mar 1200 ♂ RKM + ♂ RW K-LB/M at barn. This is 1150 and the former NOBA ♂ 21 Mar 0710 4 birds here — some chases. I flew to Schi).
