1984 R.L. Mumme Acorn Woodpecker Warp 5 9 March First trip up here since last summer, to confirm what was easily anticipated. Warp 5 appears to be abandoned: No sign of acorns in the quarry. Watching from 1110-1140, no trace or evidence of live birds here, either. 14 March ** GROUP UPDATE ** ① J863 J864 NSAB ② Warp 5 abandoned 15 Sept 1983 ± 3 months A wild guess, really. ♂636, ♀NB, and a 3rd bird (♂528?) last seen on 23 March 10 April Scanning the treetops here from Pipeline, 1450. No sign of any birds here yet 15 May Ann found the leg feathers of ♂528 M/Dblue-Dpink (today, along the creek between Road 1 + Pipeline. The remains were obviously recent! I suspect ♂528 (and maybe ♂636?) has returned here. Need to do a watch or two at Warp 5. 13 June ** GROUP UPDATE ** ① ♂528 Returned W5 ~25 April 1984 ② ♂528 Found dead W5 8 May 84 ± 1 weeks See Denise's notes on watches here 23+24 [illegible] [illegible] ♂660 + ♀685 (of Gate) here on those days Probably both have moved here, though ♂660 shuttles to Plaque in the afternoons 14 June deleted 14 June No, ♀685 looking settled at 1500 with ♂29 + ♂601
