2001 Walter D. Poenig 2 Melanerpes formicivorus School Hill B [Named ch. to "Sch Hill Annex"] HNHR (31 May) 1240.! There is a FNBBA feeding here! 1300. Giving up - too late, the birds are only dipping in at best. But it would appear that there's a new (breeder, I presume) ♀ along with what I can only guess is a FNBBA helper from last year. 82863 is nowhere to be seen, 1310. Waited a bit after all and nabbed the FNBBA! Then banded The kids and set up for a dawn ambush to get the ♂. 1 June 415. Ambusher messed up! 735. Back to try again during feeding. 810. ♀3328. The ♀ I caught yesterday, by the way, ♂ is almost certainly a 2Y bird, probably from the missed nest. Of course, assuming a new ♂ here, both she and ♀3324, if she's still here, have presumably inherited; even though they don't seem to have laid eggs. 900. Just ♀3328 feeding so far. 912. Over foraging: ♂? 3328 or -DB [The one I captured]. 935. No sign of a male yet. Will come back later. Lance watched for 3 hrs later in the day, but still no ♂. 2 June 430. This morning the ambusher worked, but no one was in with the kids. 26 June 1630. Peeped the nest hole: empty.
