1980 R.L.Mumme 6 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.
