1996 Walter D. Koenig 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,
