1985 Walter D. Koenig Melanerpes formicivorus Corral Viejo HNHR 31 March 1215. At CV#1: ♀ in hole; nest could be soon. Also there were the feathers from a well-plucked Woodpecker on the fallen limb directly below the tree. No hope of identification! But it looked like a Cooper's Hawk killing perch. Hence, one of the birds here has probably recently been nabbed. 1225. At CV#2: ♂MV LG Or-w/n/da-la #959; a baby from last year. in the granary. 7 April ♀941 from CV Grande seen intruding at Blountoo. 10 April 700. Power Struggle at CV#1! Going to Dark Hollow but I will return here. 8943 815. Nets up (2) at CV#1. Caught 1 ♂; ♀943 from CV Grande. 850. Watching: ⚪♀LB/Or-LB #960 from CV#2 (Blountoo??) 976 from Sch Hill ③♂Or/LG-w/n(n) ④? ♂ LB-BLk /M → both these are prob 976. 910. Caught 9990 being chased! ⚪♀ M/Red-w/n #819 formerly of Cazcbo Seems to be 10-12 birds here, mostly ♀♀. 920: LB-DG/LP = 9966 from Blomore. 930. Caught a third banded bird being chased: ⚪above #819. 940. 9960, 9990, and ub ♀ together - all 3 (from "Blountoo") are here. Furthermore, if I had to guess, I'd say they were winning. 945. ⚪♂LB/LP #966 from Blomore Most of the serious fighting seems to be between (among) ♀♀. 953. ♂Or/blk-or #967 have eating an acorn. Most of the activity seems to be ♀ generated. There are several ub ♀♀ here. 1000. Finally got an ub♀, so I have to head home and get bands. 1045. Have 3 more, inc. 9990 again; also 9960, 2 ub ♀♀. 1110. Watching again. Things have calmed down, but there's still a fair amount of chasing.
