1991 Walter D Koenig Melanerpes formicivorus Finch HNNHR 7 January 1045. The granaries here are heavily full but birds have definitely been busy: Valley Oak: 430 ? !!40. Sycamore: 710 ? !!40. They are not really anywhere near capacity, which is probably on the order of 3000 or so. 30 March 2030. Finally ambushed the high sycamore hole (which I opened for the census occasion, only to get #1627 only. Doch schade! However, Roger reports 4 birds here (I'd seen 3 previously) very possibly divided into 2 groups. Apparently #1627's with a banded ♂ (identity unknown as yet); they tend to hang out on the Arnold (S) side of the road. The 2nd pair is unbanded and tend to be on the N (PO Hill) side. This area obviously needs more work! 4 April Based on Danny's watch here, the banded ♂ with #1627 would appear to be ♂1641 [♂ Maure-Red/Maure]. This is one of the former Road Warrior birds (originally from OK Corral). Based on precedent, the unbanded pair across the road will be Bongo. 17 April 1000. ♂ Wh-Red/Maure #1641 in the sycamore. 18 April Monné found #1627 dead here today. It's possible she was hit by a car, but she was several meters off the road so it seems unlikely. *Group update* ♂ 534 (♂NOBA) disappeared ~21 Feb ±1 month (last seen 14 Jan, gone by 30 March); replaced by ♂1641. 19 April 1045. ♂ Wh-Red#1641 here; Stanback reports a new ♂ (banded) in the area? (Apparently #1823 from Wolfpack).
