MELANERPE S FORMICI VORUS
CV2
HNHR
2 April 3:00 - No birds seen. Lots of acorns remaining
in granary near gate.
8 April 12:40 - Saw 3 birds in granary tree. Possible
that mate guarding has started as it saw
birds following one another.
17 April 16:00 - Put up two feeders with dog food. CV2
is supplemented group, paired with Buckeye that
is not being supplemented. Placed feeder in main granary.
18 April 11:00 - Moved feeders to nest tree with many holes.
Main granary location interfered with Ginger's
magpie nest/feeding observations.
19 April 14:30 - Took down both feeders. Decided to use
Buckeye as a supplemental group. Too much interference
with crows/magpie in CV area.
21 April - Checked holes. Nobody seen
28 JUNE 19:35 - Arrive to do roost watch to determine which
8? is incubating at night. Bird in hole when it
arrived. We watched each other for ½ of an hour
than he backed into hole.
30 JUNE 19:25 - Arrived a bit earlier.. Nobody in hole,
19:55 - Red (orange) on left enters - did not see
any metal band, so it is likely that it is 2418.
- I actually thought the bird had only red (orange)
bands on the left leg.
1 July 19:54 - Roost watch. See m / l green - D-green enter [2417]
4 July 19:50 - Another roost watch. Red / (narrow split) roosts
this time - [2418]
