1979 Ronald L. Mumme Journal Hastings Reservation, Monterey County, CA (28 April) group from 1976, according to Walt, and they were there with an unbanded ♂. The unbanded ♂ was chasing the hell out of the banded ♂, at least 50-100 sortees in about 15-20 minutes. I expect that the ♀ and unbanded ♂ will pair, and brother may have to split. Don't know where the birds wintered, but it wasn't on Lambert. The banded (chased) ♂ frequently urkked and garricked, the ♀ taking no part in the chasing, just saying waka to everybody. Neat stuff. Afternoon was spent unsuccessfully trying to fix my car which is still fucked up. Walt, Larry and I tooled up to School Hill, seeing a Scrub Jay nest (4 eggs) in a bushy Quercus agrifolla (tree about 4-5 m, nest ☆ 1.5-2 m off ground. Many Grosbeaks singing on the west slope of School Hill. Watched roosting at Low Hay again, missing actual roosting again, but I did scare a bird out of the old nest cavity in the horizontal limb of the blue oak south of the hide. 29 April A nerve wracking drive back, trying to keep car from stalling, wondering if I had enough gas, etc. Made it back on fumes, I guess. 10 May A very pleasant drive down, and a beautiful warm day. After lunch I watched Pam run her mist nets for awhile. Then Walt + I set an ambush (that failed) at Low Hay, then proceeding to Blom One, where I saw my first Acorn Woodpecker nest!! It was the same hole
