1981 R.C. Munne Melanerpes formicivorus Cow Hay 19 Aug Start 1030. Well we're down to ♂461 metal/blue-whr Dgrn-BPkt/white ad ♂524 metal/Dgrn-BPkt(N).

His leg was quite bad (see Mary's journal and nest watch notes). However, he was not seen for certain after the nest failed on about 20 June. Lots of possibilities: ① ♂307 could have
