Balansphyra formicoria
acorn woodpecker
Dec.1, 1956
Approx 5mi. S. Woodland,
Co. Calif.
D.O.R. in good shape. Stuffed it in the
evening froze it next evening put it
up 7 Dec. Very tight skin! Cut the
neck, altho I guess this isn't
necessary. Q molting, some feathers
fell out very small + no death. Skull
was only partially a layer, dont half
way. Very poor skin!

Noticed in the collection an allinistic
acorn woodpecker collected by Lory Miller
in San Diego Co. All normally black
areas are dark brown. Look like
an extremely faded or bleached bird.
