2000 Walford Koenig 2001 Melanerpes formicivorus CVGrande HNHR 9 May Still some stores here in the limbs we put up. None in any holes, though! 18 May 1015. Opened the lower (connected) hole in the forest blue oak up toward Catebo that Joey saw a bird in yesterday: nice shape, but empty. 22 June Opened the new hole over by the trough where there was a bird yesterday, but it's empty. 18 July They would appear to be out of acorns 6 Sept. Bird in the hole opened back on 22 June. A nest, finally? 7 Sept. 1400. Checked it (bird in hole again): empty! 2001 3 April 1415. Bird in the new hole (opened 22 June 00). 6 April 930. Checked the hole: nice but empty. 16 April 1630. Bird in hole this morning, but still empty! 7 May 1400. Bird in live oak hole. Time to open it! 8 May 1400. None in the live oak hole, but I opened it anyway: nice shape, but empty. 14 May 1600. There are 5 eggs (incubation status unknown) in the "new hole" opened in June 2000. Answer: CVGrande The only question is: is this CVGrande or LARB2? There are still birds hanging around (but not in) the live oak hole, who I think are CVGrande birds. We'll see. 22 May 1315. 4 babies, ~4 do. Band ~6 June (a tad!) 7 June 1545. Banded the 4 kids here. There are some stores here.
