1982 R.L. Mumme Melanerpes formicivorus Blom one 4 June I say "hello" to all the holes I know about here, 1400. Doesn't appear to be a second nest around. 8 June Whoa! Over here at 1100, I find a bird looking out of the low hole in the large douglasii-lobata hybrid, 50 m WSW of the granary. 9 June At 1700, I climb up to the hole, open it, and find 4 eggs, ~day 2-3. See nest record for details. This means I should look- for hatching on 18 June and banding ~ 8 July. 23 June Checked the nest, 1230: 4 Nestlings, 3 in pretty good shape, but one runt definitely on the way out. See nest record. 19 July Walked by here, 1030. Walter had banded 3 nestlings here 10 days ago, but I find nobody looking out of the nest hole. They could have fledged, I suppose. A few acorns still remain in the granary. Leaving, I flush a nestling from the blue oaks along the road at the "summit" 24 July Both 8 492 M/BIR and 8 649 seen here in passing at 1715, but nobody else. 17 Aug A surprising coup here at 0730. I stroll up over the knoll and manage to spot all 3 jays in the trees above the granary: J830 Red-wht/Red-wht, J831 Blue-DBlue/LB and J832 DGrn/LPnk. Also 8 492 M/BIR at a 9 (presumably 8649) before they all flew off to the Live Oak Knoll. Blom 1 is out of stored acorns. 8 Oct Last several times here I've flushed birds out of the 79-80 hole, but a watch here convinces me that there's no nest. Only 8 492 seen,
