1989 1990 Walter D Koenig Melanerpes formicivorus Central Canyon HINHR 10 April 800. Saw 2 birds here, apparently concerned over a Starling in the top of the (1988) nest tree, while I was watching a nearby SB Bluebird nest. May Birds appear to be going to the 1988 nest hole. 11 June 81525 seen by Blompond; see general M-f. notes. Seems likely that these birds are hanging out down there a lot the last few days. 1 August 1800. I can see no stored acorns lurk in the known granary here. 1990 9 January 1300. looked around for stores here and found nothing, either in the nest tree or over at the "Refuel 1" granary. Is there no group here? or do they really manage here without any stored acorns? 31 March 955. 2 birds flushed here: ①♂ Mauve/M #1525 and ②♀ Lareen/M ? Some sort of group still exists here! Not much of a clue as to who the ♀ might be - there are no obvious candidates... 24 April 945-1000. No sign of anyone here. 29 April 655. 1 bird (♂?) sitting in the dead Valley Oak here. 20 May Cleaned out a Starling nest (5 eggs) from The old nest hole here. 20 October *Group Update* 80°1525 + 1526 now here with ♂91475 & 1626 from Buckeye. ①1523 gone! ①1523 Disappeared about 1 April ± 2 wks Add: ♂1475 + ♂1626. ♂1475 is probably the mystery bird I saw on 31 March, so Moved ~1 Rodeo in April ± 2 wks ①1626 → Moved ~1 Aug ± 1 month (seen at Buckeye 30 May). But! Nancy saw ♂1475 feed at Buck on 7 May! So more here 1 June.
