1976 Walter D. Koenig Melanerpes formicivorus 1500 (12 July) Furthermore, it means that she is almost certainly ♀ WH/M #260, a ♀ banded at Pump in April, and that she is clearly living here at 1500. A question that I cannot resolve immediately is whether or not she is the unbanded ♀ that used to be here or [illegible] has replaced that ♀. Checking over my notes, I see that I had originally speculated that ♀260 might be the ♀ here when I caught her on 11 April, but that I abandoned the idea when I saw an unbanded ♂ and ♀ [illegible] after seeing a bird flush to here there from 1500.

Meanwhile, as these birds merely sat
