Murme Melanerpes formicivorus SOBO 17 Jan ** GROUP UPDATE ** ① ♀640 disappeared ~ 25 Aug ± 3 months 1982 Last seen at nest 18 May, gone by 11 Dec. ② Juu. 737 + 738 NSA B 26 May 1982 4 March Watching here from blind, 0935. Sobo is still doing pretty well, acorn wise 1110, Finally, after a struggle, I get a full census: ♂639 Yellow/DBlue, M/ CBlue-Black, ♀659 M/ Bk-or ♂736 DBlue-Wht (N)/Red, and ♀739 CBlue-Yellow. Even- though I'm using the blind that's been sitting here since Dec, the birds seemed pretty upset with my presence. 1115, out of the blue it starts to rain very hard. 1130, end watch. Starting to look like the breeding ♀ is not going to be replaced, which will give us another case of "Finch Syndrome" 23 May Walked up + said hello to the granary holes. No response 4 June Nobody in the granary holes, 1300
