2007 2008 2009 WallnD Koenig Melanerpes formicivorus Road 1 HNHR 21 May 745. Set up to catch the NOBA 8. 1500. Trying again. 1600. Finally got him. Now the only question is: is he the only one? 25 May Turns out there were 2 NOBA 8's here. The 1st I caught feeding a couple of days ago. The 2nd we had a hour or time with, so I had Eric ambush the nest this morning and bingo - we got him roosting in the nest; 84352. We then went ahead and banded the kids (4 of them). 2008 8 May 1115. Checked nest: 5 kids, 2-3 do, + 2 unhatched eggs: ① 23.7 x 18.5 (not developed) and ② 24.3 x 19.2 (developed but did not hatch). Band - 26 May. 26 May 1030. Banded the 5 kids. Stores: you betcha, Though not as many as one might think. 29 June 1430. One of the babies (#4574) got his leg caught in the cut and died. Blimmer. I took him down and checked the hole - none inside at least. 2009 13 May These guys could be out of stores; There sure aren't many. 16 June 1230. Banded the 3 kids here.
