1981 Walter D. Koenig Melanerpes formicivorus Buckeye Hastings Reservation (9 June) noone in any holes. This group has loads of acorns left, however - certainly enough to go for 2. 1635. On the way back there was noone in any hole but I saw j. Rod/Weil #665 [do I have his bands mixed?] in the granary. 12 June Walked up here and flushed a bird out of one of the worst holes in the granary, prompting me to go back down and get the material necessary to open it. I did, and found 6 eggs, relatively fresh and all unusually small (such that they would all verge on being runts in a clutch with normal-sized eggs). 15 June Watched the nest from 635-955, seeing 1 inc. bout from both 8234 and 8252 and all 4 of the babies from the 1st nest, 2 of whom kept going into the hole while one of the 88 was incubating. When I finished I checked the hole with the peeper, finding 6 eggs still inside. 16 June Watched from 645-945, but only had the F in the nest when I came and no other visits. Otherwise, I saw all 4 babies and both adult 88, but noone showed much interest in the nest. 21 June 2605. Unless someone who never looked out was inside when I arrived, noone roosted in the nest tonight. One would have to think that this doesn't bode well for this nest, unless they don't have to incubate on such hot days in the evening.
