1990 Walter D Koenig Melanerpes formicivorus School Hill HNHR (14 April) Unfortunately, I didn't bring a scope, so I'll have to return and find out what's up later on. 15 April ? 820. Good activity up here still. Watching. Must be 15+ birds around. ①♀ DB/WN-DB ?(475)②♀ NOBA. ③♀ LA-DA/M #1445 (Knoll) ④♂ DA/M #1388. ⑤♂ Red/DA-Or#1620. ⑥♀ Y-Y/R-Y ? ⑦[illegible] ⑧♀ LG-Yel/De #1387. ⑨♀ R-Yel(N)/M# (2 possibilities: ♀1160 from OKCO or ♀1747 from CVGr). ⑩♂ Maunel/M #1649 (Blomore) (or ♂1624 from Buckeye?) ⑪♀ LB-YA/Or #1595 (Pipeline). ⑫♂ DA/LB-DA #1475 (Buckeye!) ⑬♀ M/DB-LB #1560 (Y) ⑭♀ LG/YLB-Yel# 1478 (Buckeye) (with a 2nd ♀). Must be 20 birds here at least! ⑮♀ LS/N/M #1475 (Buckeye; in tree with ♂1478). ⑯♀ M/DB-LB #1560 (Y). ⑰♀ Red-Yel/Da (#1415 from Gazebo?) Yes. There are at least several (3-5) ♀NOBAs here. ⑱♀ M/Red-LG #1415 (Gazebo) ⑲♂ Or/Or #1385 100. Actually, there's at least one set of 3 ♀NOBAs in the thick of things here. 9260:DA. 13 April 1 day 1130. Going to have to give up for now. Things still very active. Clearly the end of an era with the obvious loss of ♂9260 within the past couple days. Not clear who's winning - ♂1415 from Gazebo is in there, as are the Buckeye ♀♀ and a trio of ♀NOBAs. Never did get positive IDs on birds ③ and ⑤ above, unfortunately. 16 April 1000. Things fairly quiet, but still some activity. ①♀ Red-Yel Da #1415 drumming in 1st enclosure tree. ②♂ Or/Or #1385 ③♂ M/ #1387. In 2nd enclosure tree. 1030. 4-6 other birds here, but it's beginning to rain and it's not at all clear what's up at the moment, so we're off. 28 April 845. Watching.
