1991 Walter D Koenig 1992 Melanerpes famicivorus SOBO HNHR 6 January 1445. The granary here is reasonably full of acorns, but I didn't count them. 4 March *Coverup Update* Amy has watched here several times and invariably seen only 81039! By Duane ±2mo. ♀1410, 8736, last seen late June 1990, gone by 10 Oct. → DA 17 Aug 81039. Changed to breeder; only bird here most or all of winter! 2 April 1115. No stores, but one bird seen here in passing. 22 May 1130. Didn't see anything here in a quick check. 31 May 1100. Stores are indeed gone. No birds seen in passing. Still no one in the great artificial cavity here. 1992 1 January 1700. As far as I can tell, there are lots of old shells but no intact acorns stored here. Along with Black Oak, these birds (this bird?) has presumably abandoned. 19 January *Group (81039!) abandoned summer 91* 29 April 945. Watched for a short bit; nada. 27 May 940. Watching. One bird just flew by! 1000. There is [illegible] (at least) a pair here: ♀ appears banded. They were over by their old nest tree, then flew back to main area. 29 May 1400 Walked through, didn't see nothing, though.
