Melanerpes formicivorus
Finch
10 Nov Start 1130 Excellent census including J613 Red-DBlue/Red
in solid male plumage, J614 DGreeen-BPrtK(N)/Yellow-DPnt/Yellow-DPnt in solid female plumage,
and even good old J616 not seen since late August, here in what looks like male plumage. Great!
In fact, the only bird not seen by 1240 is male501. Still
no new female. Birds really storing like crazy. Couldn't get
data but I do know that (1) None of the 2nd brood
individuals took part (2) male66 + female500 looked particularly
active in storing, male63, male282, female541, male542, male540, female543
showing less enthusiasm. 1250, Finally, male500 yellow/metal
shows his face. Complete census, end 1255.
