1988 M. Stanback M. Formicivorus KOUT HNHR (28 Jun) Flies to the back side, then flies to the high W hole. I walk around and an adult ♀ has her head out. Is this the victim. I searched For the impact site (For painted rump Feathers) but Found nothing at all. My guess is the hawk took advantage of my distracting the birds and hit one. I don't think they knew it was coming because I noticed a bluebird acting rather normally (and heard other birds) after (just) the scream. The scream lasted about 1-2 seconds and stopped. The hawk fled @ 10 sec later. Why did the Acw stop screaming? If the intent was to draw a predator to the predator, it worked - but why did it stop screaming? (Screams are to startle the pred- work, all screaming would accomplish is to make the hawk squeeze harder.) 5 July 1400 Bird at mystery gran Flew to KOUT. 30 Sept D645-0830 Census: 1127, 1219, 1221, 1382, 1016, 1669 (the 1 that I saw a LB), 1670 (that sure was stupid to give her the same bands as J1587), and 2 LB-KY R-LB (I suppose this is 706). These birds are spending an inordinate amt of time at the high hole in the (now completely dead) live Oak gran. Gee, not a nest is it? No, the door is gone From that hole - they're building a new door @ 4 feet below 10ct 0845 Put door back in hole. There were some Feather remains - is this the bird hit by the hawk? → very few though. SEE BACK OF PAGE →
