1984 1985 Walter D Koenig Melanerpes formicivorus Gate HNHR 23 March 1100. Sharon (Bill's FA) stopped me on my way back and reported 2 birds here, so I've halted to watch for a bit. 1125. Noone's returned to the area. But something is up here, it would seem. 30 August Ruth Griffin found a road kill here this evening - an untended adult ♀ right below the Eucamond. 1985 2 February 1600 Grented only 133 acorns in the granary, but, of course, they don't have many holes here any more to begin with (they aren't using the fallen limbs we put back up in the tree). However, at least one Live Oak right next to the granary still has acorns on it, so they clearly aren't hurting out here. 22 April **Group Update** Even though there are a few acorns here, it's looking as though noone's here, and it appears as if noone may have really been here for some time. So, all 4 birds (8627, 99854, 859, 8u6) are -> D.A. 1 Sept.±2mo. Currently there is noone here. It's certainly not clear what happened here, since there were acorns around all winter. Maybe the DOR u6 ♀ Ruff found at the end of August is significant. Anyway, the whole group seems to have just faded out this fall for no obvious reason. 23 April 1530. A pair here ①♀u6 and ②♂ Yel/DB #627!!! So he's here after all!
