1991 WaltwD Koenig 1992 Melanerpes formicivorus School Hill HNHR (22 May) ① a baby from the nest we presumably missed from (last summer, or ② a random bird roosting in the nest who doesn't even belong in the group. Note that he had tail spots (1st year?) but a very long bill (35mm - adult?); also note that no one from Amy on down the line has seen a &NOBA here since we caught those babies last July. Hence my inclination is for the latter, but perhaps we'll get additional information as time goes on (like whether we ever see him again or not after this). 10 June 800. None in any holes here. Also no one at S.H."B". Still plenty of stored acorns here. 24 June 1440. 2 Galgries seen in passing. 1992 2 January 1545. Counted stores: Main tree: 444? 454. 20 tree: 10 Not very much here; barely enough to squeak by, I'd say. 19 January *Group Update* 81388, 81899 → both last seen 26 May, gone by 16 Oct. → D.A. 10 Aug ± 2 month. Babies → NISAB. 28 April 1445. Watched for ~20 min.; checked holes: zilch. 30 April 1530. Hung out here for an hour or so, learning virtually nothing. One bird did karrit in the lower storage area a bit. 8 May 910. Watching from side of field.
