1982 R.L. Munne 5 Melanerpes formicivorus Lambert 9 April Counted stores, 1200: Fallen Limb 1275 Broken Valley Oak 425 Fence area 65 1765 TOTAL Also, there are no stored acorns on the fallen tree on the Lambert side of the fence. Most were eaten out of the shell: Perhaps rodents ate most of them? Windy, birds keeping a very low profile. I saw three birds flush from the 1st fence tree at one point, but ♂545 cBlue/m I saw a ♀NB near Keep Out, that could have been Lambert. 21 April A quick look here, I see ♂546 c6n-DBlue/m, ♂624 cBlue-Rod/cBlue-Red, and a heavily tail-spotted ♀. Between this watch, and Alan's watch here 18 April and my watch here at Black Oaks 18 April, I think it's pretty clear that 3 males are here: ♂545, ♂546, ♂624; The other 2 ♂, 691 + 689, have returned to Black Oaks by 18/4/71. No action in any holes here. 30 April Successful Ambush here: I catch 4 birds roosting in the old E-facing hole in the second fenceline tree: 2 heavily tail spotted ♀ (now ♀719 + ♀720) and ♂624 + ♂546. ♂546, the devil, did not come out until 0800 (0900). I also had the impression that, (after letting the birds go), there may well be 6 birds around, meaning the third ♀ might still be here
