Melanerpes formicivorus
Lower Arnold 2
27 June Here at 1100: No sign of a second nest, but
an adult ♂ and J782
Corn/Yellow-Corn Seen here.

LPink/BIR
plus Q637 M/Black. The big news is that
the long lost Q697 Black-Yellow/M was here, too!
Not seen since last November. I don't know if she's
been here all along or has just returned, or is just
visiting. Saw her only once, briefly but clearly.
At least 1 adult ♂ (probably ♂611 , ♀ but not
sure) here as well.
17Aug Counted states, 1830. Main granny 45
Elsewhere 0
TOTAL 45
23Aug ** GROUP UPDATE **
① Reinstate Q697. She did not disappear ~25 Dec
1981. Still Present at LA2 on 26th July 1982.
It is quite possible that she left temporarily during
spring before returning, but our watches here were
so poor it is better to say she was probably here all along.
11Dec Watching here, 0900-1030, ♂611, Q637 Q697
Q698 (not seen since April) and J♂782 ad J♀783.
Only J784 (probably gone) not seen.
