1986 Walter D Koenig Melanerpes formicivorus Blowout H N H R (13 June) 700. Leaving. No one was given even a sideways glance at the hole since I arrived. 800. Upon returning, There's now a ♀ in the hole. I'm watching trying to see if I can figure out who she is. 820. Over in granary, a bird (♂) who looks like, or is, 8832 again. 840. Bird in hole gone. Nest checked: 5 eggs. Well, I sure didn't get what I wanted, but at least both ♀♀ are laying. 14 June Watched this morning from 435-800. Unfortunately, it was so foggy (not to mention cold) that anyone could have gone into the hole without me seeing them, and apparently someone did. Between 700-745 8492 went in turie (incubating?) and both 8808 and 8812 went to the hole, but I saw neither of them actually enter it. Nonetheless, When I checked it at 800 there were 6 eggs. The only good thing that happened was that I noted that the dark spots on 8812's forehead are still visible (barely); thus, based on the clear forehead of the ♀ in the hole yesterday (at 800) I presume that the 1st ♀ that layed yesterday was 8812 and the 2nd 8808. (Following this through, we might guess that it was 8808's last ⚪ egg eyesterday (because she layed ⚪ so late) and thus today's egg was probably ⚪ 8812's. See the scattergram on the back -
