1986 Walden Koenig Melanerpes formicivorus Road Warrior HNHR 24 April I discovered this group today while wandering around looking for Road I's nest. It is in a small gully and the surrounding flat area up above the bend in Finch Creek near group Finch. The pipeline runs right by it, but it's quite likely I've never been up here before. Nonetheless, the granary has perhaps 800 holes, currently filled with 200± acorns. There are lots of big Valley Oaks in the vicinity as well. And I did see several birds. Thus, being kind of in the middle of the study area, this territory begs some attention. I obviously know nothing of its prior history, although it's less than 100m from both Rl and Finch.
