1978 Walter.D. Koenig Melanerpes forficivorus (2 July) on top of School Hill. It was quite a chase, and I daresay I'm not entirely convinced the hawk didn't win. 1615. Watching. ♂(nows) sitting above '75 nest hole. ♀♀ub. Just flew to sap area and back (greeting w/the bird(s) in sap tree). 1623. ♀♀434 in sap tree preening. ♂ub still sitting. 1628. ♀♀445 sitting in sap tree also. Looks like the 3rd bird is here for good (and should be caught soon!) 1630. leaving. Pretty quiet. 9 July 2000. Was unable to find anybody roosting anywhere here this evening. 15 July 930. ♂415 seen in front of the barn in passing. 24 July 1830. ♀434 seen near the large sycamore roost tree. 27 July ♂415 seen late this morning sitting in the Valley Oak grove here. 29 August 1515. ♂♀415/#415 in front of the barn with a big green acorn. 4 September 1400. ♂♀415/#415 sitting in front of barn. 30 September Saw ♂415 and ♀ or 1♂blue/♂#434 here storing acorns in front of the barn. Go to it, kids! 29 October Last night Pam reported having found remains of an AW inside the barn here. She brought feathers back, and indeed they comprised most of the left remiges of some poor sweetheart. Checking myself today, I found most of the rectrices inside the barn also and eventually found all the right remiges (except for 1 found by Pam inside the barn) on the outside of the barn about 4 feet towards the Y on the side by Red House. My search for a body or wing-streaner failed, however. Once again I'm stumped--Pam figured it was the Barn Owl (who had been in the barn last week) but how did the right wings get outside? The owl was not there
