1982 R.C. Munne Melanerpes formicivorus Gazebo 17 Aug A quick + partially successful watch, O 830 - 0930. All 3 adults (♂516, ♂571, ♀653) seen well, plus 1 juv. Orange / DBlue-wr(?) J821 7 Oct 1345, watching here. First bird I see is none other than ♂570 mauve/M, Back after an absence of ~6mor, where she's been, and why she's returning now (if indeed she is: could be just "visiting") I don't know. Also saw ♂653 and J822 M / LGrn, probably in ♂ plumage, but it might be a bit early to tell for him. At least one adult ♂ M / seen, but that could be either ♂516 or ♂571 3 Dec After a long struggle, 1145 - 1330, I finally pull off a complete census: ♂516, ♀653, ♂570, ♀819 (I think ♀), ♂820 (for sure ♀) ♂821 + ♂822 (Both sure ♂♂). Only bird missing was, of course, ♂571, who has moved to Hay Blom. The strange thing is that there was a lot of activity in the old storage trees between Gazebo & Blom 3. Lots of NB birds, plus a few banded birds from Gazebo (♀819), CV Grade (♂718), and Blom 3 (♂768 of Blom 3). No idea what the commotion was all about. A fair amount of chasing, Harris's, quailas,
