1976 Walter D. Koenig
Melanerpes formicivorus
Y
(4 May) figure out where he's moved to - I can't believe he died!)
Purel:
♂22 Disappeared immediately after 18 April 1976, probably moved.
Add:
① ♂259 Banded at [Pump] Moved (as Juv) to Y ♀ (9 April)
② ♂261 Banded at [Pump] Moved (as Juv) to Y 17 April
③ ♂401 (unring) Moved (as Juv) to Y 17 April
*see notes from 19 April - this one of the unring
♂s now here (at least) is not ♂309 and behaved
as a juvenile.
♂309 will remain as before unless I can get evidence
that both [illegible] unbanded ♂s are 1st-year birds and
thus definitely not the former adult ♂ here.
♀16 remains in good stead.
8 May
1145. Flushing a bird out of the incipient "nest" hole, I
opened it and found it still in a state of formation, the
bottom still very rough. It is rather deep enough by now
I should think, however.
10 May
1825. Watching from Live Oak in 8 corner of Blomquist's.
1830.①♂DB-1&DB #261 now in sycamore across road with 2 others.
②♀? or ! #16 here also. ③♂unring here also (one, at least).
1840. Birds now in locusts at barn. ♀22 with acorn cotyledon.
1850. Birds are up on the knoll.
1905. There are still 5 birds here - all just flew from
the locusts to the knoll.
1915. Going. All birds probably here. Should watch the knoll.
