Melanerpes formicivorus

29 June Trying here 0715. This time I again see juv 692 clearly many
times, and I see another juv down by Maggies. However,
I read the bands on him as Metal/Dark-wht , which doesn't
fit at all for J693, and perhaps was J684 from Bake.
30 Jane Here again 0545. Again, J692 pops upright away.
858 seen Sapsuking briefly from a liveoak in E Coral Field,
10yds W of Tree #145. 9599 sapsucks from the live
Oak 30 meters up CV road from the granary.
0700, Pretty sure now that only 1 juvenile is present
Here, despite earlier impressions.
21 Aug Watching here 0730. 858 Corn/Corn Moley still hanging in here. looks
fine. A9 and a Juv also seen, but no bands yet; 0830,
459d M/LBlue-Red, J692 LBlue-DBlue/DBlue-LBlue both
Here as well. J693 must certainly be gone, not seen after
Banding. Lots of intruders here, though, ( 9RB, ad at least
one juv. Intruder Light-Dark/Metal
Orange/Light-yellow, which I think was
probably J687 from ARF2. Confirm, he shows up again J687
or-Blk/Metal or-white/wht-yellow Chased out by J692. He's being awfully persistent
Here, I wonder if funny things have been happening at ARF2.
End 0840.
5 Oct Watching here 1440-1555, complete census.
Corn/Corn
858 Moley , J692 DBlue-LBlue/DBlue-LBlue, and 9599
metal / all here. J692 may be molting into
Plumage, but I should check again in 2 weeks or
s0 to confirm. It appears that these birds have not
started to store yet.
** 6 Oct Purge J693, Not seen after Banding 8 June
