2000 2001 Walter Koenig Melanerpes formicivorus Phobo HNHR 13Apr 1115. Nesting in hole in PO tree (presumably this is Phobo- could, of course, be BLK-Oak). 3 eggs, incubated. 21Apr 1300. 3 babies, 3-4 do. Band: 8 May. 5May 900. Greg set up to catch the NOBA. Still 3 kids. 11May 1030. Me here trying to catch the NOBA. 1130. 4 birds so far: 92214, 8 2634, 9 2821, and a 8 Red/M? [Red band faded.] [Apparently 82825] (back) Did a 90 min watch. Only the above 4 birds seen; no sign of a NOBA (or the other banded birds). 27June Still stores here. No sign of a 2nd nest. 20 July A few stores left. 1September I don't see any stores, but, Teresa saw a bird in the hole and they do indeed have a nest (':) 4 eggs + 1 hatchling, Band ~ 21 Sept.! 7Sept. 1315. Checked the nest: empty (a few egg shells only). Nice try, however. 2001 (Bianca Negra) 5Apr 1030. Bird in old hole in the Black Oak over toward Bianca: 4 eggs, incubated. 10Apr 1500. Checked hole: hatching. 3 hatchlings + 1 fertile but unhatched egg that probably will hatch. Band ~ 1 May. There are actually stored acorns in this tree, which makes me wonder whether this is not Phobo, but an entirely new group. We'll see, I guess. 18Apr Based on watches so far, this looks like a new group. Which we'll call Bianca Negra.
