1984 R.L. Mumme Acorn Woodpecker Corral Viejo Canyon 9 March **GROUP UPDATE** ① CV Grande -- a ♂717, ♂718 returned here in September 7 1983 ± 1 month, present in October with a ♀NB and ♂837 (see Sady's notes) ② CV #1 -- abandoned 12 Aug 1983 ± 2 months ③ CV #2, OK corral -- Both need a bit more work to figure them out.

Not true at CV #2 7 April A bit of luck at CV#2 0845-0920 I find M / LPi-R / D6m two birds; ♀NB and ♂849 Orange / D6m-LPi-R from OK corral! Maybe more birds here. Also a second unbanded ♀ chased vigorously by the other ♀. The second ♀ then flew off toward Dark Hollow, where ♂84 was advertising vigorously earlier (see OH notes). ♂849's presence at CV#2 leads me to suspect that nothing is up at OK corral. Heard no activity from OK corral while at CV#2, and a brick watch here 0920-0940 indicates no activity + no birds at OK corral. Whoa, Just as I'm ready to leave OK corral, a
