1980 Walter D. Keenig 6 Melanerpes fomricivorus Blowone (29 April) Neither hung around for more than a few minutes. 8513 often appears to wake to nobody here, however, creating the impression of a 3rd bird who doesn't materialize. 1 May 1800. Checked the hole, finding the 4 eggs still inside as before. 2 May Watched the nest here from (1345-1645). Nothing unusual going on—just incubation (mostly by the ♀). 3 May Watched here at dusk. First I went over to say hello to whoever was inside the hole, but none looked out (I did hear weak rasps, however—the eggs have hatched). I watched until it was getting dark (~1925) at which point some ferent karit-cuts were heard in the granary. At that point a bird looked out of the hole (!); with the flashlight I could tell it was the ♀. She then left, and the karit-cutting bird (8513) then went in the hole (and never even looked back out). Thus, the ♂ roosted here alone, just like he's supposed to do. 18 May 1940. Tried but failed to get who roosted here tonight—all I could tell for sure was that it was only 1 bird. 27 May 1230. Banded the babies here, of whom there are 3 (way to go, guys!). They are now #584-586. 1600. 9478 seen by Pam at the Lower Barn (at 4) sitting around (?). 8 July Walked by here twice in the late afternoon but failed to find anybody anywhere, except possibly way over past the far knoll where I had a brief glimpse at one bird flying off. 9 July 1650. Finally a bird in the granary: ♂? DB-Dr/DB-or #478. 21 July 1400. Went up to check the hole (just to make sure that the babies [illegible] roosted in nest
