1981 R.L. Mumme Melanerpes formicivorus 1800 2 July Watching for juv down 0830. Success, I think! Pretty sure that I saw J695 peck hard at J696 twice while the birds were together on a limb in the granary. An adult near. I was positive of the identity of the juveniles, but not notably sure that I saw J695 peck at J696. Will try here again End 1030 4 July Here again 0730. Again, one probable J695 7696. I was watching 696 in a valley oats upon the S ridge, when J695 flew in and approached J696 from below. I then saw a 695 squabble, ad 1 bird fly off, and I think it was J696 pecking at J696. Makes more sense, since J695 approached 696, not vice versa. Also think I found a roosthole that I didn't know about, in an open live oak (!) on the south ridge, about ½ way up the trail to the usual watching spot. Watching roosting here while the nest was still active, I remember seeing birds flying in that direction. End 0930. Aug 18 Start above granary 1320. End 1420. Virtually nothing, only Q193 DBlue-CP.K/DBlue in the granary briefly. Not even anybody in the Sap tree. These guys are out of acorns, too. 22 Aug Watching here 1130, Well, J696 Metal/Or-wht in the top of the granary, with a nice white eye and what looks like glossy Oplang. Good! ♂476, ♀193 also appear briefly, but very little activity. End 1230. Whoops, also ♂561 1 Sept Good census here finally 1715-1830. ♂476, ♀193, ♂347 (I was worried about him at first), ♂562, ♂564 ♂565, ♂561 (late) J695, J696. Complete census. What's more,
