1993 1994 1995 Walter D Koenig Melanerpes fuscicollis Wolfpack HNHR 2 February 1550. Counted stores: 192. Something, at least, but I still have no lead on any major storage area here. 1994 20 January 1540. Counted stores: 92. Really, there's got to be something more here, but where? 14 April 1100. There are still a few acorns in the granary. Plus, a bird flushed when I came by. There certainly is a group here. 19 April 1545. 2 birds in hole at Pipeline/Wolfpack. Mark checked: 6 eggs! Measured them: ①25.5×19.6 ②26.0×20.1 Translucent Translucent ③25.6×19.4 ④24.7×18.5 ⑤24.9×18.0 ⑥18.4×14.7 Translucent Opaque Opaque A mint! Time to find out who's here! ? Eggs incubated. Apparently 2 ♀♀ here. 1995 16 May 1630. Came by here and saw ~2 stored acorns and no birds. Is there even still a group here? No sign of a nest as yet. 12 June 1600. Watched for an hour here and saw very little. On 2 occasions, a bird flew by, one stopping to flycatch for a few minutes. So there may be birds here. But I sure saw no sign of a nest or really any sure sign that a group is living here. 20 June Ambushed the hole in the Sycamorn over toward Pipeline, nabbing 82408.
