1986 Walter D Koenig Melanerpes formicivorus Wolfpack HNHR 20 January *Group Update* Katy saw these birds on 4 Oct upon first going out to the road, so we'll have them founding the group on 0 Sept. 1985. All were banded on 26 Oct. 1985. 10 February 1600. Counted stores: Big VO on Warp5 side: 90 Big VO on Creek side: 110 Other 30 I found no big cache here nor any evidence they have the capacity for more than ~300 acorns, except for putting a lot in the bark of the big Valley Oaks which they could do but haven't. I don't really see how they can manage on what they've got, but they have so far so we'll just have to see. 14 April 1100. Opened the hole high in the sycamore where we caught 1 bird last fall (Katy had seen birds in here several times). 24 April Mark checked nest: 5 eggs, fresh. 28 April 1600.
