1978 Walker D. Koenig Melanerpes formicivorus Read ! (7 June) at Valhalla, however, were 4-5 birds, who flushed up the (sunny) hillside a little further. None in the holes there, though. 10 June 700. Nothing seen here in/out of holes. 12 June 1905. 2+ birds roosting in the very high hole in the squareore between the road and old gate. [illegible] June 1735.

A ♂ was here in the granary briefly holding the well- beaten body of a Sceloporus about 2½-3 times as long as his bill. The head was not evident, and it had clearly been thrashed around a good deal since its capture. The bird flew off without doing anything with it except hold it in its bill. This is the 2nd Sceloporus I've seen apparently predated by AW-the 1st was at R3 earlier this year. ② 25. An intruder here-chased immediately and silently. ③ 35. ♀ 354 still here, now with ②♀ m/Red #409 and ③♂ ub. ④♂DBRW#222, ⑤♀ ca-za/m ⑥♂ De-La/m #406 and ⑦♂ LG-Ble/LG- #407. ⑧♀ Red/LB-WN(m) #295. ⑨ 900. ⑩♀ orn/Red-Lg #293.
