Melanerpes formicivorus
Finch Hastings Reservation
11 January 1300. I collected a sample of 100 acorns from the storage
trees here, 34 from the Sycamore and the rest from the Valley
Oak. I marked 80 acorns in the Valley Oak as
follows:
(1-3 on snag pointing towards PoisonOak Hill)
① 15 Yellow
② 15 Red above ①
③ 15 Green above ②
(4-5) in middle snag pointing vertically
④ 15 Red
⑤ 20 Yellow above ④
A couple birds were around but were not identified.
