1980 R. L. Mumme Melanerpes formicivorus Upper Arnold 2 27 April Start nestwatch 0730 (0830 PDT). End 0800, Nothing here but mucho adion at LA2, 1010 (1110) trying again, ♀ in the hole looking out. 0.00 ♂ looking out 45.00 leaving. 16:30 ♀ leaves nest 0815 27 Aug Lots of commotion! A revolution? NB♂ drumming in old A3 nest tree. Also a quick look at Orange/Dark Red (C) which could be ♂626 from Gate (!) or ♂321 from Black Oak, if I read leg wrong. 0845, Nope, looks like an NB family (at least 1 baby) intruding from Lambert area. 10 Sept Start 0835, All kinds of commotion in the A3 area, garricks, lots of wakes, mountings, chasings, urtts, the whole business. Definitely looks like a BRC. center is very weird on SW side of S Ravine (map on back) Believe I see ♀621 white-or/white-or but not positive. C910, I also see ♂123 Blue/Blue-Orange. So what's all the commotion, unless this really is a A3 (or something) revolution. ♂123 was with ♀ think a banded ♀ Juv, so that bears looking at. This revolution looks ♂ oriented, but not yet sure. Over at the main event area, apparently nobody is banded. I think UAL birds just peripheral. Question is, why is there revolution activity here? One Blue Oak with just the scantest number (<50) of rotte-looking storage hole- 0940, things dying down a bit. going to look around Bingo, ♀ find the granary, about 50 yards west of the fence line. Huge big Valley Oak, NO acorns, and no activity here. All the
