2001 2002 Waltw D Koening Melanerpes famiciramus Central Canyon HNHR 13 June 1400. 2 babies + 1 unhatched eggs. 31 July 1000. Nelli found the 2nd nest, up in the scraggly Valley Oak (Tagged #1082) just up from the granary. 3 kids, ~24 do! For cavity info (no tag) see back. 2002 15 April 1230. Checked the hole & they've been interested in (#287): nice but empty. 30 April 1400. Checked #287 again: still empty. 7 June 1215. 8 or/or #2208 in granary. 1220. 9DB-or/M ?? Def. a ♀. Seen fairly well. Out of stores, best I can tell. 9 June 1600. Wandered over to the 2nd canyon, where there are 2 birds in a new hole in The nice valley oak!. Flushed them out and didn't hear anything, so perhaps eggs? Birds flushed away from CECN, so There's the possibility it's not even this group. 1730. Came back and opened the hole, Which has 4 incubated eggs: ① 24.3 x 20.0 ② 24.2 x 19.7 ③ 24.1 x 20.0, ④ 23.5 x 19.3 (calipers checked). Need watches here! EHD ~ 14 June. Hole tagged #5564 12 June It's looking like the nest is not CECNs, but a new (or at least previously unknown) group that I'll call 2nd Cyn. Still no CECN nest!
