1980 R.L.Mumme Melanerpes formicivorus Road 1 4 may Checking the nest with Walter, my first shot at going up the ladder. 4 babies, 4 unhatched eggs! Back at roosting, could really tell nothing about who roosted. 5 may Routine nest watch 7 may "" A brief appearance by o294, 12 may "" no sign of o294. 14 may "" a short one! 16 may A pretty fantastic nest watch; nearly 100 visits in 2 1/2 hours, Still no sign of o294. 20 may Short, dull nest watch 22 may Another short, but OK nest watch. Again o294 did not come to the nest, giving me cause for concern. However, I saw him (at least, a o with his head pattern) hanging out in the granary 4 June ASwing by here at 1000, babies have not yet fledged Correction Light-Dark / Light-Dark at least one has! A Baby in the granary, Plus at least one still in the nest, looking out. 8 June Start watch 1050. Both FF around, flycatching. A fledgling in the VO near the 2° Sycamore granary. 1150, Both FF have made some quick trips to the nesthole + roost hole above, seemingly to check them out. Perhaps they are thinking seriously about renesting. NO packing behavior, yet. Perhaps soon. 10 June o740 from PO Hill. Nobody around at the moment. o840, No interest whatsoever in the nest tree. Birds mostly flying aroung granary area. 2 babies seen.
