1977 Walter D. Koenig Melanerpes famicivorus Hartings Reservation, Monterey Co., Calif. (18 May) Valley Oak with numerous holes in it (it was the 2nd from the top on the S facing side); it very well may not have be a nest but I marked the area below with Red tag #5 anyway. Wandered all the way to the top, down slightly toward the road (Where there's a "big" group, over to the Parkland, then down from there, finally coming to the group which uses the very tall snag that can be seen from above the Revolution area. A bird was in a hole there (unfortunately I would need the ladder for sure); I can't be sure, again, that it's a nest, but it was marked as #6. 19 May 1715. Over at "Near Lambert", no bird was in the hole this time, so I did not go up to saw it open. A bird was in the hole again at the far group with the giant granary (a name for which I'll have to come up with), and also a ♀ was in a high hole (plus several others in the vicinity) ⚫ in the granary of the group next to the barbecue pit; she flushed but I didn't for sure hear anything from inside. That group, however will be known as "Bar-b-q" (it is directly between the Lambert group and the far group). 25 May 1700-1900. Wandered around on Blongquist's down past Gazebo (Where baby sounds are still rising from the nest) to the area by and around the Water Windmill. In general I was pretty unsuccessful finding nests, but I did end up coming up with 2: One in the territory with the Zhuge Valley Oaks over toward HNHR (8 in hole would not come out) and a 2nd in a Valley Oak right by the dry vernal pool just across the fence from Gazebo! There, a ♀ flushed leaving relatively young babies rasping.
