2001 Walter Koenig Melanurpes formicivorus Los Arbolitas (27 April) ⑤ 25.8 x 20.0 ⑥ 25.5 x 20.0 Be careful: this could, I suppose, be CVGerande. If not, it sure is a fast renest! 1 May 1930. Watched roosting. 1st [illegible] am/DB#2761 and Then 8m LBCk [def."M"] #2095 3217 came, but then one (both? hope not) left noisily just as it was getting quite dark. I assume this was the ♂, leaving ♀2095 3217 for the night. Looks like this may be a new group: ♂3216 + 3217 budding off with ♀3148 from CVGerande — so not "Larb"s renest. We'll tentatively call this group LARB2 (LAR2). (LRB2) 7 May 9315. Back here at LARB itself, there's a bird in the same hole (the F-troop tree), with a record-breaking 11 good eggs in it!! They were a few days incubated. Unfortunately I forgot my calipers so I couldn't measure pert. Perhaps 3 ♀♀ laid here this time? 17 May 845. 8 babies ~2-3 do + 2 unhatched eggs (1 clearly underdeveloped). Band ~ 4 June 3 June 915. Bird in new hole in granary! (Note: prior rest failed for unknown reasons; see Joey's notes). [Joey watched roosting on 28 May and found the nest completely empty on 29 May]. 4 June 104 1445. Opened hole (now tagged #1322): 12 eggs
