1989 1990 Walter D Koenig Melanerpes formicivorus Lambert HNHR 6 July 1000. 4 birds here; I seen as ♀ R-W(N)/or presumably ♀ 1378. 1990 11 January 1115. Counted stores: Hastings VO: 821 Hast. Fallen tree: 1202 Hast Lower Root Tree: 434 Lamb. Fallen Tree: 0 There's no sign that these birds are using the Lambert Fallen Tree anymore; one large limb fell off it and most of it is just too close to the ground, I guess. In any case, without it, I'd put capacity at about 3000. 2 April 1025. No sign of birds, but lots of stores still here. 1034. Saw a bird over by The New Trash area (in Schwarznegger vicinity): 8 LP/R #1491. 25 April 1010. None in any holes. Up just beyond the storage area is 8 m) #1491 (probably) again. 29 April 1700. Several birds flushed from here down toward the fence line (in direction of Big Tree). 3 May 1245. None in any of the known holes. 15 May 1445. Still no sign of anyone in any holes. 23 May Flushed birds from here, but still couldn't find any sign of a nest. 2 June 1500. Stores are here, but still no sign of a nest. 23 June 1500. 3 birds in lower VO granary, where Skip has seen birds in holes. I checked them, however, and all are connected and in varying degrees of decay; all in all, not good candidates for nest. So What's going on here?
