1977 Walter D. Koenig Melanerpes formicivorus Hastings Reservation, Monterey Co, Calif 9 January 1300. While soaking up some rays on the roof of Red House, Ram and I noticed one Acorn Woodpecker hawking from a live oak up just beyond the enclosure behind the house. For ½ hour at least she stayed in this area, making infrequent forays out 40 meters or more into the area, returning to the same branch with some invisible food item. Eventually I determined she was banded and my best estimate for her bands were ♀ M / Red-wrn ♀ Red-wrn / Red-wrn ; this almost certainly is [illegible] ✓ ♀ M / DP-yel / DP-yel #314, another of the several ♀♀ caught last summer at Plaque during one of the numerous disturbances there and later seen once at Chongo. 1645. A call alerted me to the fact that there was still a bird up in the canyon above and just over from Red House; I couldn't see a thing around its legs but it was a ♀ and surely ♀314 still. She eventually flew in the direction of the old road going towards the Mellin Ranch area. 2 February 1500. On the way up Poison Oak Hill, 3-4 birds were together along the ridge above the "Road 2" area. One, who was perhaps not officially connected to the others, was identified as ♀ Yel / Da-yel #232 from Finch. 1530. Up at/near the PO Hill revolution site itself are several birds, inc. I who may very well be ♀316 [♀ M / 4RW] 1540. There are quite a few birds hanging around here or checking the area out; unlike previous trips most appear unbanded, however. 1620. Just over the ridge is a cache of 4-5 birds, inc. ♀ Lw #330 and ♂ Orlw #334 ; also a banded ♂ [♂316] and 1-2 ub birds.
