1993 M. Stanback M. Formicivorus RANI (27 Mar) Karritting drumming (or a couple garricks); she's with Mr. White Bill () From RANA. Maybe she's a RANA 99. I think it's just the Z of them. No sign of the NOBA 29 Mar 0800 Arrive to find power struggle in progress. Re-upped the string or put up net, only to have string break. Finally all set at 0830. Slowly started catching birds (see cap recs). Released all 4 aviary birds, but they didn't stay or fight. However, the periphery is crawling w banded birds. A female we caught intruding last week is one of Z here (we caught her again plus the other one - who we didn't know was a new resident until we let her go. The Z♂♀ here do nothing but fight e/o. I released 99 upo laps since I really don't think they're cranked up. I am taking the ♂ we (me r Eric) caught back for laps. So... ended up catching 6 birds, one of which was Z 2130, an original RANT bird. (Also saw Z159 in tree.... Oh yes, by late morning the group established here was Z ♂♀ (the Bickersons - since they argued constantly) and the Z 99 (pink or green). After releasing green or catching pink, a NOBA came in and refused to leave. She r green chased or chased. Finally Z130(old yeller) came barreling in, NOBA left and green r yellow Fought hard (about 5 tumbles - the last one being when I got both of them in my hands).
