1997 Walter D Koenig Melanerpes formicivorus Horsetail HNHR 13 May 1945. Watched roosting here tonight. Basically I neither saw nor heard any birds in the area. There was at least one bird up the side of School Hill; best I could tell he/she headed up toward Sch. HILL West to roost. (This suggests that the birds I keep seeing in this area are SHWest birds rather than Horsetail birds.) Whether there's even anyone here at this point or not would even seem questionable. Birds certainly pass through regularly, but there's precious little evidence to indicate that someone really lives here at the moment, much less has a nest. (There are a few acorns still in the granary, but that's about it.)
