1984 R.L. Mumme Acorn Woodpecker 1800 9 March GROUP UPDATE ① 9785, 9786, 9787 left group 10 June 1983 ± 2 weeks Last seen around 1800 off/on during May, clearly gone by late June. 9787 seen introducing at Plague 27 Aug ② 1800 (9193, 8770, 8771, 8774, J917, J918) abandoned 17 Aug 1983 ± 1 month Last seen (all 6 birds) on 21 July. No birds present here on 13 Sept and 6 Oct ③ J919 NSAB 21 June 1983. 5 April Things are very confusing here. Yesterday (4 April) pm I found 9650 (regularly), 9648 (firefighting) and 2 rather dark-typed 8♂, neither of which I could get the bands of. Today, I find the same two 8♂, and still have no luck seeing the bands of the two 8♂. I'm getting the impression, however, that 8♂770 & 771 are continuing to shuttle back and forth between 1500-1800. When I started at 1000, the 9NB at 1500 was garrickering + waking to herself almost constantly. Also During this time, I could see 28♂ + 2♀♀ together in NE 1800, At 1045, the commotion from 1500 seemed to stop and no 8♂ seem to be around. Only 1 acorn left in the artificial granary. 1140, confirm 8771 here with 9648 11 April 1100, 9648 + 8771 together here for a long time, then 8771 flew back to 1500 (where he was absent earlier) I suspect (see 1500 notes) that 8771 will eventually move here. No evidence of 9650. Saw 9648 eat an acorn bit, so same still around.
