1981 R.L. Munne Melanerpes fornicivorus Chongo 19 Oct Miracle of miracles, I walk up here at 1230 and find that at long last, Chongo is occupied! About 100-200 acorns stored in the granary, and birds around! 20 Oct watching here 0750, hoping to find out who's here. 0900, Bless her heart ♀ 565 ♂ un/L Blue of 1800 is here, storing acorns with what appears to be just one unbanded ♂, That means that School Hill descendants are now breeding at S Hill, 1500, 1800, Cow Hay, Hay Blom, Y (direct) and Blomore, Blom 2, and Chongo (indirect descendants), Not bad! Anyway, a lot of other woodpeckers are here, but I suspect that they are Buckeye birds trying to use the spring (I saw ♂234, ♀666 here yesterday). No evidence of more than a pair here, but they look pretty tight. End 10/910. 10 Dec Counted stores, 1700: 330 TOTAL Still room for a couple hundred more.
