1977 Walter D. Koenig Melanerpes formicivorus Finch 12 July 1740. Watching. 1755. ☐♂6. ☐♂278. ☐♀280 1810. 6 adults in nest tree now but no babies! 1814. Finally! ☐jdx-ldg#386. Everybody is still being exceedingly wary here - that Cooper Hawk really shook them up yesterday. 1835. There's a Cooper Hawk calling somewhere in the Valley here - their paranoia is well-taken, I guess. ☐♂67. 1840. ☐jdb-wnc#388 begging from and being fed acorn bits by ☐♂6. 1845. ☐♀282 and a breakthrough: ☐jdk-lgtdr#387. (Not an inspired look at the bands, but the pattern was definite and it was a juv.) 1851. ☐♂63. ☐♂66. 1910. Sun just went down throwing the main area here into shadow. Looks like j385 is gone for sure; j387 is most likely here; jj386,388 are here for sure, and j389 was here for sure up to yesterday, but may very well have been abolished as feared. 1900. Counted stoves: Main Tree: 435 Sycamore: 24} 1 August 1530. Watching with the captive in the main granary as bait. None in the vicinity. 1615. The birds are all keeping behind the storage areas back in the forest - none have come out to investigate yet. 1630. The birds here are staying to themselves (as they did last year when I tried this). Weather conditions are on the odd side as well (threatening-thunder!). I'm going. 31 August 1435. Watching. 1446. ☐♀46-8#280.
