1985 Walter D Koenig 2 Melanerpes famicularus Corral Viejo (10 April) 1130. 8966, 967 still here. The 3 ♀♀ are still here: 9960, 9990, and ub♀ as well. 1150. An occasional intruder, but these 5 birds (the Blontwo 5) clearly have it all pretty well wrapped up. I'm going to leave the nets up and check back later. 21 April **Group Update** CV#2 { 9960 (+ presumably 2 sisters, both ub) moved to Blontwo on 15 March 1985. } CV#1 { All birds apparently gone by 10 April; this group hasn't been watched carefully and we don't really know what's up or what happened to allow all the Blontwo birds to take over on 10 April. } 2 May 1600. At CV Verande, they now have 7 eggs - pretty good evidence of 2 ♀♀. It also means that FED here (-egg tossing) was ~21 April, they should hatch ~5 May, and be banded ~30 May. 13 May 1900. Found OKCorral's nest - it's high! Babies have hatched and are pretty young still. 15 May See Gazebo notes re 9942 from CV Verande who has moved to Gazebo, joining 9718. 20 May Banded the 3 babies at OKCorral who are virtually ready to fledge (one tried to, not quite successfully). 24 May Went to check CV#2's nest: 2 mummified babies ~ 7 do, say, when they died. (Philip reported eggs here earlier). Obviously a new nest will be forthcoming here... June 1715. 2 birds in one of the old holes at CV#2. No sounds when they flushed so I presume they have eggs.
