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.
