1993 Walter D Koenig 1994 Melanerpes formicivorus Fanny Arnold HNHR 4 February 1100. Checked stores here, finding 420, mostly in limbs over by the old fence line. At least there's something here! (Mixed up - this was a "Landrift" note!) 12 May 1000. None in any holes here. There is a nice newer one in the big VO up along the fence beyond the traditional tree, though. 1015. While checking things out here a bird landed with food in its bill in the traditional tree! So I watched for a while and then checked around again but found nothing. Perhaps it was an At bird? There's really little sign of anything going on here, or even that a group still exists. 27 May 1300. Bird here with food again. I'm now sure there's a nest here, but where? He outlasted me and I finally had to leave. 29 May 915. Watching from blind. 930. Someone came and fed - but where, exactly? Moving blind. 945. Babies looking out! (Upper opened hole.) 1030.
