1976 Walter D. Koenig Melanerpes formicivorus Bianca (21 December) distance and a ♀ who flew right over. 1518. The ♀ who is there is ⚪♀ LB/Or-LA #303! She is very interested. ⚫♂ Red/Wh is nearby also, but ♀303 still looks the most agitated. ⚫♂ Or/Wh #214 also looking on from a distance. 1540. These 3 birds are still the only ones around. 1545. The ♀ is now a few feet away up on the main storage limb; ♂142 is in the top snag of the granary. The 2nd ♂ is gone. 1548. ♂214 returned, still at a distance, though. 1600. The residents still quietly looking on. 1615. Leaving. Nobody ever got to the cage, but I can objectively say that ♀303 came physically the closest to it. (Followed closely by ♂142). In any case, I am very glad to see ♀303 back here after several weeks of scaring me by looking as though she was going to move over to LA2. ♀304, on the other hand, never made an appearance and is probably gone.
