1981 R.C. Munne Melanerpes formicivorus 1800 Heatings Reservation 13 Jan Start 1240. granary census on back. ♀193 DBlue-LPink/OPBlue Black/LGreen ♂561 Yellow-BK/m wat-LGreen/White-LGreen ♂476 Yellow/BK ♂562 ♂564 Metal/Red-BLK ♀565 wat/LBlue all see right away. Very warm, sunny day, birds flycatching. 1340 ♂347 shows up, LPink-DBlue/LPink Metal so that makes a complete census, presuming, ♂563 is indeed dead, 1345 ♂565 chatters vociferously, not sure why, ♂? nearby. A small storage limb (20 holes at mat) seems to be missing. I'll check the ground underneath the granary. End 1440. 11 Feb Start 1200 granary census on back. 1305, ♀NB intruder, mildly chased by ♂565. Intruder in top of granary 1320 Big alarm call scare, birds fly to holes in granary VO. One bird "frozen" to underside of Blue Oak 50 m N. No activity for 20 minutes, then big bout of rabbits, then flying to each other, wakas. "All Clear" at 1340. Then at 1347, another dash to the holes, and again I don't see the problem. 1354, no rabbits. At least 3 birds were in holes this time. Only one emerges. ♂564 is conspicuously absent. ♂476, ♂347 ♀193, ♂561, ♂562, ♀565 all see well repeatedly. I suspect that ♂564 may be gone. I suppose he could still be here, but unlikely. End 1400; 17 March Start 1310, granary census. Good watch here, ♂476, ♀193, ♂347, ♂561 ♂562, ♀565 all seen well on numerous occasions. Also, it looks like ♂564 is here after all, or at least somebody with Metal/BLK which was what I read
