1984 1985 Walter D. Koenig Melanerpes fornicivorus Bianca HNHR 10 March 1035. Flushed a ♂ from the ravine area; he circled around The field but I was unable to get a good look at him; he very well may have been banded from what I saw, however. 1985 19 February 945. An unbanded ♂ and ♀ up at the top of The saddle near LA2. No guaftake that they are Bianca birds, but it seems likely. Counted stores: 665, all in the "New" granary. There certainly is a group here, at least. 8 April Two birds roosted in the old nest hole tonight. 9 April Set up an ambush, but I only saw 1 bird go in the hole. 10 April Didn't see anyone go in the hole, but it turned out that the ♀ was in there. We banded her as #993. She had a grossly distorted abdomen and is certainly laying. We put her back in her hole and stuffed it up to keep her in, but immediately upon pulling the rag out from the ground she flew out and off into the night. The ♂ is presumably on the nest, wherever it is. 14 April 1630. None found in any holes here. 1 bird heard, however. 23 April **Group Update** We'll let this group be founded in Sept. 1984. 1 May 1540. None in any known holes. Watching. 1610. Nothing going on here at all as far as I can tell. Are the birds even here? 17 May 745. Babies in the hole I ambushed the ♀ at!
