1984 R.L. Mumme 2 Acorn Woodpecker Gate 24 April Trying hard here but with minimal success 1030-1230. I find ♂627 (PINK/DBlue) and ♀859 M/Black plus at least a 3rd bird. ♂626 seems to have set up shop at Westgate with ♂855. See Westgate notes. 30 April Finally, success here. Over in the saptree live oaks in squarenail flat, I find ♂627, ♂859, plus a ♀NB. This should be a complete census, what with ♀854 at OK corral (see Denise's notes) and ♂626 & ♂855 at WGate. 24 May Amazing good luck here. I walk up from Pipolix at 0730 + find 4 birds perched on the same branch: ♂627, ♀NB, ♂854, ♂859, all seen well. ♂854 is back after an aborted attempt to move to OK Corral. See my OKC notes, → Denise's notes. No sign of any nesting activity. 13 June ** GROUP UPDATE ① ♂627, ♀854, ♂859, ♀NB(1885) All found Gate 2 April 1984 (♀854 tried to move to OKCO in late April. The ♀NB is almost certainly the same as last years)
