1977 Walter D. Koenig Melanerpes formicivorus School Hill West Hastings Reservation 29 January 1400. Walked over here. Granary has several hundred acorns stored in it, nearly all Q. kelloggii. Didn't see any birds, however. 25 April 1110. 1 bird began calling as I approached and flushed before I could spot him. There are acorns remaining in the granary here, however. 1120. Bonanza! Walking SW along the top, 2 birds flushed from very near the chaparral slope just above where the road can be seen. A 3rd bird remained in a Blue Oak, and was none other than ♀DB-LP/DB#193, the 2nd-yr ♀ from School Hill! I rapidly tried to get a fix on a 2nd bird, perched some ways off, and recorded ♀Red/M, most probably ♀B.Pink/CBlue Oak#191, 193's sister. So, it would appear as though we have a group here now composed of a ♂[unknown whether he's even banded or not at the moment] and these 2 ♀♀ from School Hill, who have moved sometime within the last several months. These birds returned to the granary, where at 1132 I saw one of the banded ♀♀. 1200. One of the ♀♀(♀M/light#193) near granary; other 2 came by briefly, leaving now, but returning eventually with a hide would seem in order. 2 May 1000. Heard some calling here, but saw no birds during a brief tour of the area. 1630. Walked all over checking the holes in the Black Oak and looking for others. Finally ran into [all] 3 birds on the far S edge of this area atop 2 large Blue Oaks. ♀Red/Mauvish#191 was seen as one of the 3.
