1981 R.L. Mumme 4 Melanerpes formicivorus Finch 16 Sept Very quiet here when I walk by at 1515. Nobody in hole, no birds around. 20 Oct An extraordinarily good census here, 1000-1100. Everybody seen, including ♂616, who hadn't been seen since April and who I had give up on long ago! Birds seen: ♂666 ♂663, ♂282 ♂501, ♂540, ♂541, ♂542, ♂543, ♂613, ♂614, ♂616. Lots of flycatching activity, and a little bit of storing going on. 2 Dec I continue to do well here: I drive up at 1245, and by 1300, I've seen all 11 birds (same as above). No sign of anew ♀.
