1988 Walfor D Keenig Melanerpes farnicivorus Blomone HNHR 16 January *Group update* According to Mark's notes (27 sept.'87) we probably missed a late nest here (seems odd and unlikely, but it does explain the unbandd bird[s] here).. In any case, the ub ♀ that is now here (#5291) will be assumed to have originated in this way. There may also be an ub ♂ here too.. 26 January 800. 2 ambushes here last night and this morning netted 6 birds (!); in the low, opened hole toward Far Knoll we got 2 ub ♀♀ (1 1st yr, 1 adult I think) and ♂1063 (?) from Dark Hollow, and here in the granary 1 ub ♀, ♂1167 and ♀1325. Wow. 30 January *Group Update* (on the heels of The 26 Jan. ambushes) ①♂1063. Formerly of Dark Hollow, left there in March or April 1987. Wait! Here's my hypothesis: There are 2 groups here. One, ♂ consisting of ♂1167, ♀1325, and the juv. ♀ (now 1459) is Blomone (these are the birds caught in the granary). However! I don't think we missed a nest here. The second, which we will call Laguna, formed during the power struggle on 24 Sept., consists of ♂1063 and 2 ♀♀, now #1457 and 1458. Now-about that juv. ♀ at Blomone. Mark saw There was a nest abandoned here on 25 June. On 27 June Mark saw an extra bird here. On 3 July he saw a juv. on Blomone Knoll. On 17 Aug. he saw a 3rd bird, "chased a little." On 31 Aug. he sees a NOBA juv. here, heading toward OK Corral. Finally a power struggle on 24 Sept.; lots of ub birds. On 27 Sept. Birds
