1984 R.L. Mumme Melanerpes formicivorus Lambert 2 Jan Up here on a beautiful warm day, 1430. Lambert does indeed seem to have been reoccupied by the old residents following the addition of ~1500 acorns. I flush two birds walking up, one of which is ♀720 Red-Yellow/Red. Didn't get a look at the second bird, which exchanged wakas with 9720. Still a decent number of acorns left in the granary. 10 March 0845: I flush 3 birds, then spot 4 perched together in the distance after setting up the blind here. 1100, after bailing out of the blind at 0930, I have a bit of luck: over by Bar-B-Q. I find 9720 Red-Yellow/Red, and ♂624 ""/"". With them was a ♀NB, that was chased a bit by 9720, but not much. Earlier, while in the blind I saw a (the?) ♀NB chase somebody from the Lambert area. Also, one of the 4 birds I saw at a distance was a ♂ Lgreen-black/white, which probably was ♂546. Lambert is ranging all out the place: Saw ♂624 west of BBQ, well west of Keep Out later. Very few acorns remain in the granary at Lambet. I also could find no stores in the BBQ granary, which has lost a lot of storage limbs since the last time I looked at it. In short, Lambert needs more work, but it will be difficult given how rarely they sit in the granary and how widely they range. 12 March Good luck here today, 1045-1145. Down around Keep Out I find 9720 and the long lost ♂777 Black/white-L6--- I then flush 9720 and another two other birds up toward BBQ, where
