1989 WalteD Koenig
Melanerpes formicivorus
F-Troop
17 January Currently defunct (never did very well).
(Group update:
♀1204, ♂1079. Both bred (unsuccessfully) here in spring '86,
and appear to have stayed here until possibly as late
as August (see Stanback's notes). ♀1204 then disappeared,
While ♂1079 returned to GVarande and was 1st seen
there 7 September (he was not seen there on 7 August).
Hence, both abandoned about 25 Aug ± 2 weeks (or
possibly earlier). Territory has been unoccupied
since (not surprisingly).
