1987 M. Stanback 4 M. Formicivorus MacFlat H/NHR 9 Sept 0935 Saw NOBA ♀, confirming that ♀ 988 is the Finch breeder. Also saw ♂ 1073 (0/13.w) 1100-1150 Watched ♀ saw NOBA ♀ and ♂ 1073 repeatedly. Both birds visited the new yellow string hole (♂ once, ♀ twice) ♂ spent 5 minutes poking at the corpse of a dead ACW in the hole. (1/11 wager its ♂ 1082). Climbed it: dead ACW, no ID. too rotten 22 Sept 1100 Hellood holes - nothing 1630 A slight border dispute tween MacF + R3 1700 Cruising by I check VAOK holes - nothing. On my way to the liveoak hole a bird flushes from it. It ducked away quick, but I think it was ACW. 23 Sept 1430 Climbed. Empty but Fresh chips. 1550 As I was watching R3 I noticed MacF birds going to a low hole in that small sycamore that's just off the road on the PO hill side sorta where the road curves. You know. Anyway they went to it several times within @ 15 min. I checked it and its a hole under construction (early phase). Its @ 8 Ft off the ground and overhanging the road.
