Melanerpes formicivorus
Blomtwo
HNHR
10 May
1445. Noone seen here in passing.
11 May
815. A pair of birds here: ♀ is banded: ?M (4u-DB)?
845. They're still here: ♂ BIK(?) / M 1054.
♀ wh-DG / wh#1356. The R leg of both birds was seen well; I should be able to identify them. They are definitely hanging out here this morning as one would expect residents to.
♀ is 1356, a 1986 Blomone baby "not seen after banding"!
♂ is 1054, a 1985 Blomthree baby who was at Blomtwo on 17 January 1987 with 6989.
For the moment, I think these birds should be kept here as an active group. (♀ moved here 1 Apr ±3 months)
29 May
1300. Came by here yesterday and today and saw nothing. So much so that I already wonder if these birds have abandoned the area...?
