Melanerpes formicivorus
Knoll Set
23 April Well, Knoll set appears to be a defunct group. ♂564
has been at 1800 regularly, and I have even seen him
intruding at Gate recently. As for ♀♀715 + 716,
They were last seen on 13, 14, + 15 April on Haystack
Hill, each time in the Valley Oak along the fence-line
near the summit of the Hill, by Alan, myself + Molly.
Also, it seems that Y birds (by 18 April) have
pretty much taken over the knoll. (See Alan's notes).
So I would guess Knoll set abandoned about
10 April ± 1 week.
18 June ** GROUP UPDATE **
① ♂564 did not disappear on 25 Feb 1982.
Instead he returned to 1800 ~ 7 April 1982 ± 1 week
② ♀715 + ♀716 abandoned 7 April 1982 ± 1 week
All these birds were seen here 1 April, ♀715+716 on
4 April, but the ♀♀ were 64 on the side of
Haystack on 13-15 April, and ♂564 returned
to 1800 ~ the same time (see Molly's notes)
