1982 R.C. Mumme Melanerpes formicivorus Blom 2 27 Oct I stroll by here at 1530, and finally find a few acorns stored in the nest tree. Still none in the secondary area, though. 1615: After a long wait I see two birds, I'm pretty sure a ♂NB and a ♀NB. Will have to ambush here before long. 8 Dec I stroll by, 1430, reveals a ♂NB and a ♀NB. Still very few acorns here, however. Also, I took a 30-min look around "Cañon Vista" and it looks like the birds there may have moved on. No sign of any wicker life. On 3 Dec, while watching at Dark Hollow, I saw a bird up in the CVista "roosthole tree" (see Walters notes), but that could have been a straggler from elsewhere. Also, the dead tree at the head of the CVista ravine has fallen (probably during late Nov. storms).
