1981 Walter D. Koenig Melanerpes formicivorus Buckeye (19 May) 930-1230. The birds (9483, 8234, 8252, and 8619) were fairly active and did a satisfactory amount of feeding. 20 May Did another nestwatch today from 1415-1700. They weren't nearly as active, and only the 2 adult 80° fed. At dusk I returned for roosting. The attempt wasn't altogether satisfactory: I missed the bands completely and was a little too far away to get the facial features, but I think it was 8234 who roosted in the nest. This is based mostly on negative evidence, however, so I'll have to try again ASAP. 24 May Watched here from 800-1100, getting a good nestwatch in with lots of visits, except that the ♀ remains obviously quite wary of anyone being in the hole (she fed once, then returned twice more to the vicinity of the hole with food but did not feed, after sitting each time for a minute or two and deciding she didn't like the scene). A dusk I returned, but nobody roosted in the nest, so it looks like we've blown our opportunity to get roosting here. 28 May 1300. Banded and bled the 4 babies here, who are #663-666. 4 June 800. Walked up and checked the other holes, but no sign of a 2nd nest as yet. 9 June 1620. A bird flushed from low out of the granary when I arrived- possibly indicative of a 2nd nest in the same hole. Otherwise,
