1984 R.L. Mumme Acorn Woodpecker Blom 3 9 March ** GROUP UPDATE ** ① Juvs 910, 911, 912 NSHB ② 9767, M 769, M 839, 9841 disappeared 15 March 1983 ± 2 months. All caught in 9 Dec a-bush, not seen again + missing 1 July. ③ 8768, 8840, J913 disappear abandoned 21 Aug 1983 ± 6 weeks Last looked at 1 July; Blom 3 abandoned by 11 Oct. 7 April <5 acorns remaining here in styrofoam grocery. See Philips notes. It seems likely that Blom 3 may now be occupied by 8717, 8718, and a 9NB. ① These 3 birds were hanging around here (between Gazebo CU Grade + Blom 3), while Denise watching CU Grade at the same time, saw 9NB + 8837. ② The quith 8717- 8718 drummed, not to be expected of an old resident 9, if indeed that's who she is. 1135 Yes! Back in the Blom 3 groaney are 8717, 8718, 9NB. Sehr Gut. Lots of wakai-ing here too. I'm now certain that Blom 3 is occupied by these 3 birds. 12 April A quick look, 0945, reveals 8717 and a 9 with a very heavy left mustache. Back by 1100, I find that same 9 (9NB) + 8717 again, but no trace of 8718. Not even a suggestion that a 3rd bird might be around. 13 June ** GROUP UPDATE ① 9NB founds Blom 3 30 March 84 (8717 8718 with her until late April) ② 8768, 8769 return to Blom 3 1 May 84
