Media notes
Male defending the preferred nest cavity from intrudier, likely a yearling male.
Observation details
One pair and an intruder fighting over the upper preferred nest cavity. The intruder may have been a yearling male, since it was driven off by the paired adult male, and supposedly males drive off males and females drive off females with neither sex willing to engage in hostilities with the opposite sex. After about five minutes of squabbling, the intruder left, and the victorious pair left about five minutes later. The previous afternoon one pair and an intruding adult male were observed fighting over the same preferred nest cavity. The four continuing birds (either two pairs or two adult males, one yearling male, and one female) were initially found by Stuart Angerer.
