1980 Walter D. Koenig Melanerpes formicivorus Hartings Reservation, Monterey Co, Calif (21 January) This time I got a look at her right leg, which was M/LP-(Manwe?). This makes her ♀ M/LP-(Manwe?) or ♀ LP-Rd-LP. I still can't identify her offhand, but she's not ♂520. She was in the edge of the burned area preening and picking acorns, which she pecked into right away. Apparently these 2 birds may actually be living here, but if so, I have no idea where their granary (if they are using one) is. 1440. This time I nailed her for sure: ♀ LP-Da/LP-Da (the only band *♂520 I didn't see very well is upper right). She's ♂520, the bird I banded at the "revolution" at Upper Arnold 2 on 26 August 1979. 26 January Today all the Seabird-types from the PSC meetings were here in the morning, but afterwards Ron and I managed to make it up Bison Oak Hill to look for birds. At P.O.Hill #1 [Ron saw] [3377] Ron saw one of the banded ♂♂, an apparently unbanded ♀, and a 3rd bird. Otherwise it was all unbanded birds, especially ♀♀. Between us we probably saw 15-20 birds, (some of whom could have been repeats) all of whom were unbanded. They were distributed around all over, but something was going on - there were some chases and a pod of birds roving around up near the top that appeared to be up to no good. Once again, most of the activity seemed to involve ♀♀. As for granaries and acorns, things are in good shape up here as elsewhere. Most of the potential storage sites are quite full of stores. All in all, though, it was a lot of work for relatively little information. 31 January 900. Back over on Lambert's I wandered around and noted
