Acorn Woodpecker
Dark Hollow
9 March
** GROUP UPDATE **
① 824 disappeared 10 June 1983 ± 2 weeks:
Present 24 May, missing 30 June
② 9825 disappeared 13 May 1983 ± 1 week.
Present 2 May, gone by 24 May.
③ Dark Hollow (9695 9696, 8584) abandoned DH
7 Sept 1983 ± 1 month: 9695 8584 seen here
on 3 Aug. Clearly abandoned by 11 Oct).
7 April
0815, Wonder of wonders, 8584 (pink/mauve) has
recaptured Dark Hollow. He's here alone, karritting,
and occasionally drifting into long bouts of garricks
No evidence of other birds, though 8584 has wakard to
himself occasionally, also checking out the 83 nest hole
Still 25 acorns in the grass.
1030, after seeing a 9NB fly this way from CU2,
sure enough, I come over and find a 9NB with a 8 (assumed
8584) She ate a worked on an acorn for a while, then
took off solo up toward the N out knoll of Blonde.
She wakard once to 8584, but I'm sure its premature
to consider her part of the group.
1035, 9 + 8584 return for a moment, the 9 takes off
toward Gazebo. 8584 karrits + garricks for ~2min thereafter
M/Yellow-white
12 April
Another change! 1000 F-find 9819 Red/white-yellow of
Gazebo here instead of 9NB. Also saw 8584.
8584 chased 9819 mildly at times, but 9819 has
looked pretty persistent. < 5 acorns remain in thy
styrofoam here, though I saw 8584 with a bit.
