1984 R.C. Mumme Acorn Woodpecker 1500 9 March GROUP UPDATE ** ① 1500 (♂297, ♂622, ♀601, ♀675, ♀818) abandoned 15 Aug 1983 ±1 month. All 5 birds last seen 17 July no evidence of birds here at all during 13 Sept acorn survey, or on 6 Oct 4 April See Philip's notes for the series of interesting events that have transpired since the acorn addition Here at 1630 are a ♀NB, plus ♂770 + ♂771 According to Philip, the artificial granary is about out of acorns but I saw the ♀NB carrying an acorn bit to the 10 grams from the 2° granary. I also could see at least 1 bird on S Hill as I was watching The 3 birds here. 11 April Interesting watch here 1015-1045, ♂770, ♂771, ♀NB all here, but only ♂770 + ♀NB were together. These two were always in the granary together, waking together, etc. The only time I saw ♂771, he was in the "treehouse" area SW of the granary. He karried a few times awked to himself, but that was about it. 1145, ♂771 flew over here to granary. See 1800 notes 26 April Ah, yes! 1030, I find two old friends in residence: ♂297 + ♀601 both seen very well, See Philip's notes for 23 April. He saw ♂622 on that date, but no evidence of a third bird today. See 1800 notes for this date, too. 29 April 1000-1100, Looking here I once again find only ♂297 + ♀601. No evidence of ♂622.
