1976 Walter D. Koenig Melanerpes formicivorus Bianca Hastings Reservation 5 September 845. ☐♂ Bianca #140 and a 2nd bird sitting in perch tree East of storage. Other birds across the canyon towards Lamberts (see LA2 notes) but none of these could be identified as Bianca birds. Now I'm sitting in hide at Bianca itself. 915. ☐♀ 4-R/1A #141 near storage area. 930. ☐♂ub here now. 933. After barrit-cutting for a minute, the ub♂ attracted ☐♂ R/W #142 and a ♀; the former of whom promptly chased the ub♂ off. Ms. Bianca is in the vicinity now also. 945. ☐♂ LB/Or-? (?) here, not a Bianca bird. He didn't call but merely wandered around, and soon Bianca landed nearby, causing the intruder to hide and soon fly away without having to be displaced. This bird is certainly ☐♂204, a 2nd-yr ♂ from Arnold 3. 1045. ☐♂ LALW #217 plus a ♀ who had clearly lost a wing-streamer from her right wing (thus either 215/251) in the side of the area; the ♂ was eating a nice big green acorn. 1100. ☐♂ub eating an acorn next to ☐♂#217 in the side area (toward Bell's) 1105. ☐♂ Or/1W? #214 now eating acorn in side "area" 1120. ☐♂ LBRW #215 just picked a Black Oak acorn from the perch tree. This would suggest that the above bird (at 1045) was ☐♀251. (On second thought, she could have been ☐♀213 as well). 1140. Finally found a juv- sitting and urrking softly in the lower Black Oak perch tree: ☐♂ LB/Or-rator? #303. I am otherwise beginning to seriously doubt the existence of any of the others, however. 1145. Leaving. 13 September 1015. Several birds on "☐☐☐" "North" hill side of territory
