1984 1985 Walter D. Koenig Melanerpes formicivorus Lower Haystack HAWHR 26 September 630. Finally caught 1 of the unbanded 88 here in an ambush in a new hole in the far part of the territory: This is now 8972. 18 October 830. Watching.

Apparently roosting in the upper tree above the granary. 16 April A couple more failed trees have, but tonight I at least found a new hole (in a broken-off limb) they used in the main granary. 21 April XA Group update xxd- 8857. Best seen 31 Jan: The status of this bird appears to be uncertain. Best I can tell, he returned here late is spring 1984 (June) following abandonment in fall 1983 and was seen here lots after that. Philip last saw him 31 Jan 85, he was gone by 2 April, so (probably), so DA 28 Feb ± 1 month. j953. Not seen after banding on 16 July '84. j952. Last seen 31 Jan (unbanded!), gone by 2 April, DA 28 Feb ± 1 month. 23 April 1215. Missy reported incubation-like activity in the "normal" hole in the granary yesterday; I checked it: 6 freshish eggs.
