Melanerpes formicivorus
1500
(19 June) sight, but one was seen to have bands and to be ? White/DBlue ;
this suddenly reminded me that while watching at 1800
last week (9 June), I'd seen a bird with WD/DB on his
right leg, a ? I think but maybe not, and had not
written it down because it didn't correspond to anyone I
expected to see (thus eventually deciding I'd made it up).
This sighting confirms the existence of such a bird in the
vicinity, but is not quite enough to identify it (though
$260 banded at Pump in April seems a good candidate).
Evidently the possibly along with several others are
living in the near vicinity.
Yes. |
20 June 1330. Nobody seen here in a brief pass either in the main area or
over where the birds were seen yesterday.
24 June 2000. One bird in the sap side. I wasn't able to get a good look,
however.
2005. A ? is hawking in the lower Sap Side. This bird seems to be alone
and may be banded.
26 June 1055-1125. Sat reading under tree 3 waiting for any sign
of life here. And, at 1125, I was rewarded when none other than
? Darcen/Orange #44 came to the tree above me and sat for a few
seconds before seeing me and flying to the upper sap side.
Apparently the group persists here after all.
5 July
12 July
900. Zero.
1930-1945. Zero. 1950. Flash! A banded ? appeared in tree 5.
I watched her until 2015, at which time she flew [illegible]
over to tree 3; no 2nd bird was seen. Her bands were ? W/DBlue
Which makes her the suspicious bird noted above on 19 June,
