2004 2005 2006 Walter Koeny Melanerpes formicarius 1800 HNR 11 December 700. An ambush over at the new hole in the live oak snag got 2 ♀♀: 1 The Bonnie ♀ from Bonnie & Clyde (not seen since June 2003) and a NOBA ♀ who I'm fairly sure (but not positive) was a FY bird. This suggests that the mother (Bonnie) formed a coalition and dispersed with her daughter (The NOBA); perhaps a first? In any case, presumably these are the breeder ♀♀ here now. 2005 27 April 1800. Having seen a bird in the old MLF hole (tag #5814) I checked it today: 4 fresh eggs! ① 28.0 × 19.5 ② 26.9 × 19.8 ③ 27.4 × 19.3 ④ 27.3 × 18.7. I'm guessing this may be 1800's nest since MLF2 (I think!) is nesting over toward 1500 a ways. But who knows? Both these clearly need watching, and soon. 30 April 815. Hole still has 4 eggs. 1 May Group is not 1800, it's [illegible]. MLF1 9 June Still stores but no sign of a nest here. Sept [illegible] Plenty of (old) stores here. 2006 6 March Stores: yes. 7 April 630. Ambushed the new hole just in from the old hole in the main granary, which had a single NOBA ♀, now #4212.
