1987 M. Stanback M. Formicivorus 1800 HUHR 23 Sept 1630-1640 Watched hole From lane - nothing. 24 Sept 0750-0850 Watch From distance - From lane and then From 1500 side. I saw one visitation to the typical hole, but the bird didn't go in - it just looked in then hitched away. I noticed the birds Flying over to their live oak snag in the woods alot, and at 0845 I saw the female working on a hole, pulling out chips (she was still having to back out) Can I assume there's no nest (yet). Saw the new juv. Saw 4 birds at least, but as I wasn't censusing, (or far away) I ID'd only 4 193 & J=1438 A rather large limb fell on the uphill side of the gran. They lost one, maybe 2, roost holes and several hundred (250?) storage holes. I took a small piece. 2 Oct 0800-0810 Watched webbing hole - nothing. 0845-0855 Watched live oak snag From last time. No one went near the hole they had been working on, but one bird worked (very) briefly on another hole start not far away. 18 Dec 1600 Acorn Count: 5300 main gran 3 5800 500 tree to east
