1988 Walter D Koenig Melanerpes formicivorus Buckeye Annex HNHR 24 May For prior nesting record of this new group, which has annexed the northern section of Buckeye, see Chango. It turns out that it is a new group composed of a Buckeye ♂ and an unbanded ♀, previously seen over at Buckeye. In any case, they now have babies and (at 1540) I'm set up to try and catch the ♀ at the nest. 25 May 1105. Up here trying again for the ♀. 1125. ♂B1K/Or-L6 #1397? came to hole, didn't feed. 1230. Got her! Now #1572. I guess; it certainly doesn't fit anyone else! 13 June Group Update* ♂1397. Founded group (with ♂6 ♀ now ♀1572) about 1 April. Both birds may still be here, although following the failure of the nest here ♂1397 started feeding at Buckeye. 23 July *Group Update* ♂1397 left (returned home) about 1 June.
