Melanerpes formicivorus
Plaque
21 Sept Been putting off note-writing here for quite awhile
Watching here very casually I find that J606 is
in solid ♀ plumage! good for it. I also see ♀496
and another ♀, (almost certainly ♀494). I've shamefully
not written it up, but Coopers Hawks have been incredibly
common around Plaque all summer, no doubt the juveniles
(who were begging earlier, in Aug) and the adults from
Watertank Hill are involved. Miraculously, they haven't
nailed the Plaque woodpeckers yet.
11 Nov Watching here briefly at 1020, complete census, as everybody
(or nearly everybody) chasing a crow out the live oaks by the
bunkhouse. Only ♀♀494+60♂ ad ♂521 seemed to be
heavily involved. Anyway ♀606 BPK-wnt/wnt-Bpink ♀496 mauve
♀494 white-Red/m, ♂521 B/K-yellow/Or ♂473 Green/wht all seen.
