1986 Walter D Koenig Melanerpes formicivorus Finchs (15 May) by a ♂ - presumably 8613 but I haven't gotten a good look at him yet - with 986 joining in some. The ♂ & ♀ are pretty chummy and obviously not happy with 863's return. 1800. Still no one has come to the hole...?! Ah! Here he is... 1801. 8613 enters hole. 1823. ♂ Left. 1923. ♀ enters (986, I presume). 1900. ♀ still in hole. 1917. ♀ Leaves. 1918. ♂ enters. - 1925. 2nd ♂ at hole. 1927. ♂ Leaves, returns. 1930. 1st ♂ spends night in nest. I go home. 16 May 1200. Took over from Sue. Nothing interesting yet. Compilation of the watch is on the back. 1500. Nothing at all interesting. I'm quitting and going to watch the trees looking for 863 until Mark comes at 1530. As an aside, These birds do have stores remaining, at least in the sycamore. 1520. 863 is here - up in the Vo granary. 18 May 1445. The nest is empty! He tossed!! 4 June 4 eggs in the new nest (Mark). 12 June Sue reports that eggs have hatched, so final clutch size was 4. 12 July Jim brought in 986 - road killed! Ugh! 15 September See Katy & Mark's notes re the replacement here. Currently we have ♀1177 from Wolfpack, here since 14 July, and ♀1176 "" ", seen here 1st on 6 Sept, was bass at Wolfpack on 11 Aug → Moved ~24 Aug ± 2 wks. 3
