2003 Walter Poenig Melanerpes farmacorum Central Canyon HNHR 7 April 1130. Starlings and stores here. Also birds, but not in any holes. 15 April 1535. Bird seen entering a new hole, pretty high in the main trunk. I'll have to check to see if the 32' ladder will be enough. 17 April 1145. Opened The new hole (there are actually 2): one (the lower one) is unfinished. The higher one could be used, but is empty thus far. Be careful with it - The bark is in pieces. Also cleared out a starling nest in the old hole next to the new ones I opened. 10 May Still no sign of a nest. Starlings in that old high hole, despite having cleaned it out earlier (17 April). 2004 11 May Pretty sure there's a starling nest in hole #262. 2005 6 April No sign of birds here, other than starlings. No stored acorns either. 2006 17 May 930. 3 birds here; flew to 2nd Canyon, where some fighting is going on, when I flushed them.
