1981 Walter D. Koenig Malauerpus fonicivorus Black Oak Hastings Reservation (11 June) out of the 1st bird's bill, squealing a little as she did so. The other bird did not protest, but sat still and later ate the rest of the food herself! 1000. Leaving. My legs can't handle this hike any longer. Apparently they're in no big rush to get more eggs into the nest! 12 June Watched up here from 550-850, getting a few visits to the active nest but nothing at all at the "new" hole. At that point I checked the latter, finding the same single egg inside. At this point, whether they'll still nest here, elsewhere, or not at all is pretty much up for grabs. 13 June 1500. Hole is now empty. Piffle. 15 June 1600. Babies looking (fair) out of the nest hole. 25 June 1430. Ron having mentioned that he'd seen someone looking out of the old ('79) hole, I came up here to check. There was none in it, but I opened it and found 4 rather stout eggs. They were a little yellowish and thus may be added, but otherwise this is their bid for a 2nd nest. 1 July 730. Bird in the hole, so I opened it to check: there are still 4 eggs inside, warm. 9 July 1630. Hole opened: 3 babies, ~7 days old and looking plump! No sign of 4th egg. *No- 4th egg didn't hatch. 29 July 1900. Weighed and banded the single baby as #713. Also found the 4th egg, which was added and still in the nest. 1930. ! Just as we were leaving somebody started making noise in the grass beneath the nest who turned out to be a 2nd
