1989 Walter D. Poerig Melanerpes formicivorus Blomthree HNHR 16 April 1000. There are several birds over in the area by box 218, across the vernal pool toward (more or less) Gazebo. I looked at one & up in a tree who was unbanded, making me wonder - is there a separate group here? (Blomfour?) Might be worth keeping track of, just in case. Well, I see now that there are lots of NOBAs here at Blomthree, so they probably do belong there. 1 August There were still lots of stored acorns here as of a week ago or so. 1990 31 March 1100. Flushed 1 bird from the granary area, where there are still a few stored acorns left (but not many - maybe ~250). I then heard some calls over by the Vernal Pool area and walked over there, flushing 3 (maybe only 2) birds. I only ID'd one, who was a ♀ NOBA. The question is, is this still a "separate" group over here? Or what's the deal then? The birds generally seemed to flush over toward Gazebo, so maybe they belong there. 18 April Cleared out a starling nest from the lower of the 2 old nest holes in the traditional nest tree here (these holes are connected now?) 24 April 1020. None in any holes. Still some stored acorns here. 29 April 635. 8 R-w(w) #1681 over toward ravine from central area, just sitting. They must be using a hole over here.... 6 May 1645. Cleared out a starling nest (with 4 babies) in the Blue Oak ½-way to Blomtwo (the ½-way tree).
