2000 Walter D Koenig 2001 Melanerpes formicivorus 180D HNHR 16 May 8 Sept. 1115. Banded the 5 babies here. Still stores left. Out of stores, 2001 4 April 1045. Bird in (same old) nest hole. 1240. Chuket hole: 4 eggs, fresh. 8 April Jen watched roosting: 8m, #2898 + 2 9F (whose bands didn't match up) roosted in nest. 9 April Jen watched roosting again. This time 3 birds again, 82898 + a 2nd 8 + a 9. So it could have been 82680 as well, I suppose, but it was definitely 82898 again. 12 April 1330. Collected the 5 eggs, so LED was 5 April. Measured them: (1) 23.8 x 19.2 (2) 24.3 x 19.0 (3) 25.4 x 20.1 (4) 24.1 x 18.5 (5) 23.0 x 18.0 All 5 were fertile, but not nearly as close to hatching as I'd thought. They are now #3339-3343. 4 May 1000. Bird in hole! 8 May 1600. Peeped the hole: 10 eggs!! Are there 2 9F here? EHD: 15 May. 7 June 1430. Banded the only 2 kids that made it from that very large set of eggs. (#3498-3499), 1 July 1330. Bird in hole! 1730. Checked it: 3 inc. eggs (!): (1) 25.1 x 20.6 (2) 22.4 x 18.6, and (3) 25.4 x 26.1. All are developing, inc the small one. Also in the hole: ½ a hatched eggshell; where did it come from, I wonder?
