2001 Walter D Koenig Melanerpes formicivorus Los Arbolitas 2 HNHR 4 May The birds nesting here in LARB's traditional hole turn out to be a new group - not LARB's nest! Tonight I watched roosting and the events of 1 May were basically repeated. And in hindsight, here's what I think happened both nights: ① 3 DB-WM Blue #3216 (not the LARB ♀!) entered. ② 6 M/BLK #301 3217 entered, after which I bird looked out and eventually left. I assume that 3 3217, having come last, was the 3 who stayed both nights, although it's impossible to be sure. 5 May 17 May 1630. Took the eggs. 91S. New nest! 7 fresh eggs ① 24.8 × 20.5 ② 25.5 × 20.0 ③ 25.1 × 20.4 ④ 25.6 × 20.8 ⑤ 25.8 × 20.5 ⑥ 24.1 × 20.0 ⑦ 24.7 × 20.4. 18 May 1945. Watched roosting: [3] DB-WM / CB #3216 roosted by himself for sure. 28 May 1945. Again, it was [8] Blue-wm/Blue #3216 in the nest by himself tonight. No one else came or was at all interested. 30 May 1130. 6 babies, ~4 da. Band 6/16. One was such a runt that I took him for tissue, leaving 5. 14 June 1430. Banded the 5 kids here. Storks? Not sure where to look! Joey found a modest number around!
