Melanerpes formicivorus
Finch
22 Aug looks like a fairly solid ♂♂. Some sapsucking in
the live oak overhanging the parking lot. All the
2nd brood 'babies here, also ♀500 × ♂501, ♂63,
and I think ♂282. Cooper's Hawk
0850, strange development . All the finch birds
fly over and land in the Rd 1 granary, taking me
worry if the Rd 1 members had all perished when the
nest-roost tree fell during the fire. I do see ♀383
at the Rd 1 granary, and some chasing. Bears investigation
Still no new ♀ here yet. Also no sign of Juv 542
at the moment.
Also, a fire casualty was the top of
the sycamore (NE of creek) that had some storage
holes and the nest holes of earlier years. Don't really
understand how it could have fallen , as the thin tree
was not really damaged. I suspect It may have fallen
before the fire. This interpretation supported by the fact
that there is no trace of the stub on the ground,
suggesting it was already on the ground when the fire
came through.
17 Sept Watching here 0830. Pretty good census, seeing ♂63,
♂66 ♂282, ♀500, ♂501, [illegible] ♀541, ♀543, ♀J613,
and J614. All seen well. ♂♂540+ 542 and J616 the only
ones I missed, but I suspect they're still around. Still no new ♀
here.
10ct Here at 0945, No storage yet. ♂63, ♂66, ♂282, ♀500,
J613 × J614 all seen. No new ♀ yet. Later, ♂501, ♀541
♂540 w/ pink ad I think ♀543 green/brim all here
Also ♂5 [illegible] Lemon/Lemon
