1984 R.L. Mumme Acorn Woodpecker Low Hay (27 March) Instead of seeing 8721, 8723, ad 9650, I see two completely different birds! They seem to be 8571 Blue-Black/Blue (pretty sure) and a ♀ Lbn-Dorn/M whose bands I read as Lbn-Dorn/White (or something like that: sure of the light-dark split, pretty sure of white, certain of metal). They seem at home and well established. What's going on? Interesting that 8571 would come to Low Hay when his old haunts of Hay Blom + Gazebo appear to be available 1350. Now 9650 shows up Blue-Black/M, leading to the suspicion that the other ♀ is her immigration, partner 9649 (or 648?). I will have to check. No activity on the grany lins, but Front only 75 acorns remaining. 5 April Here 1200, 8571 M /Blue-Black, plus a ♀ which I am almost certain is unbanded. Bom sit in the grany ~10 min, then fly off toward Hay Blom. (Philip has seen these birds, Loc at rear 8571) filching acorns from Hay Blom. 13 June ** GROUP UPDATE ① 8571 founds Low Hay 27 March 1984 ② 9604 9711 move to Low Hay 9 April 1984 These 3 birds controlled Low Hay + Hay Blom until 11 May, forced to leave by 9524, 2 ♂NB) ③ 8571, 9604 9711 move to Hay Blom 11 May 1984 ④ 9524 ♂NB, ♂NB (1992, 1993) move to Low Hay 11 May 1984 ♂NB may be same as 83 ♂NB
