1984 R.L. Mumme
Acorn Woodpecker
School Hill
22 March Up here 1405, after Jim reported hearing a bird up here
on 20 March. 1545, Slow, but for sure at least two
(maybe 3) birds up here. One is undoubtedly
Green-Black/Green-white
♂771 M / Green-white, banded at Low Itay in
1982, one of the 3 1800 Breeding ♂ last year.
Also present is a bird that I didn't see sex of, but
may be ♀787
Red-Yellow/M, also of 1800! Need
a better watch up here to be sure of her, though.
Both birds spent a bit of time poking around in the granary, and
eating buds/tratkins from the blue oaks NW of the granary.
5 April See Philip's notes for details of comings & goings
following the acorn addition. Up here at 0830,
Two new Still residents confirmed: Both are old
friends. ♂669 M /Or-DBlue (1981 Still nestling,
then from Y) and ♂601 M /unt-Clare (1980 gate
tnestling, then 1500) Great. They seem to be a
good unit. Saw one of the birds eating a bit of
acorns. Only 6 acorns left in the artificial
granary, however. This also explains Walter's
observation of ♂669 and a ♀ at Y yesterday.
11 April School Hill has changed again! 0830-0930 ♂669
waking + traveling around with a ♀NB. ♂601, who was
intrudly at Fink on 9 April, was also here briefly,
but obviously solo. She must have give up (or chased out).
Also saw ♂769 M /Black-red formerly of Blom3, who
I saw intrudly recently at OK Corral
