2002 Walter D Koenig Melanerpes formicivorus Knoll HNNR. 14 April 82749 roosted for sure 1105. Tonight it was definitely Over# 2749 Who replaced 82563 at the final hour and roosted in The nest. 15 April 1115. Took the 6 eggs (1st exp. for the year). Hole tagged: 5562. Measured eggs: ① 26.3 x 19.5, ② 27.2 x 20.0 ③ 25.6 x 19.7 ④ 27.1 x 19.3 ⑤ 26.7 x 19.2 ⑥ 27.0 x 19.3. 19 April Eggs started hatching this morning. Processed all 6 as 3637-3642. 24 April 1115. Checked The hole they're now interested in (#1324-used in 2001): 5 eggs! Could sh1) be laying, however. 1 May 1645. Checked the hole: 8 eggs. EtD ~ 7 May. 9 May 915. Checked the hole: 6 babies, 1 unhatched egg, + I tried up nestling → 7 hatched. I took the egg + the rent nestling, who surely was not going to make it, for tissue. (egg was fertilized) and left 5 babies. 10 May 1935. Watched roosting. 82563 roosted for sure (3 cn / cn). I'm pretty sure a 2nd bird did also, my best guess as to the bands was LP/LB, possibly 827SD? Pretty iffy on him, I'm afraid. Perhaps I somehow saw his Right leg and it was 82749? Heck if I know. 11 May 1935. Tonight it was either 82563 (probably) or some other bird I couldn't ID. One then left, so I can't
