1976 Walter D. Koenig Melanerpes famicivorus Gate (1 June) 2020. Pretty quiet. 858 still preening on the other side of the creek. No other calling or birds in sight. 2025. Made a final pass of the holes, finding bird(s) in one of the holes in the Live Oak—not the usual one, but the one 2 levels up from it just below the mess of them at the top of the trunk. 5 June 1500. At least 2 of these birds were way up the side of School Hill at the edge of the School Hill West area. They flushed down toward Gate. 1920. 4 birds flushed from sap (?) live oak; another 3 at least already in the opened hole in the Live Oak. 7 June 1545. 1 bird flushed from opened hole in Live Oak. No baby sounds coming from inside, but perhaps this is it at last. 9 June There continues to be activity in the Live Oak everytime I check, but I never see a bird consistently in one of the holes. Surely something is going on, however. 10 June 1630. Nobody in Live Oak. About 5+ birds, though, were more or less quietly in an oak right by the fork in the roads leading to Tregea’s and Hastings. I looked around but didn’t see any good reason for them to have been there; possibly they were sapsucking. 12 June 1930. Bird in Live Oak opened hole. None seen/heard elsewhere. 13 June 1945. Nobody in/near Live Oak. 1 bird along creek up from the Gate; others along side of School Hill, where I saw ①③ RRI #238, ② Rub, ③ Rub [② w/ tail spots]. Fighting and chasing was going on and lasted about 5 minutes until 1950. Birds were quite active; drilling, bark gleaning (?) was observed; one bird was trying to dislodge an oak gall and possibly succeeded in one
