1979 Walker D. Koenig Melanerpes formicivorus Hastings Reservation, Monterey Co., Calif. 28 December 1400. I snuck over to Bar-B-Q on Lamberts this afternoon and found that the better part of their granary (the high limb with most of the stores) has fallen, apparently in the storm of a few days ago as the limb is fresh and still stuffed full of acorns. I'd say these birds lost a 1000 holes easily and may not have more than a few hundred left.
