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.
