1990 Walter D Koenig Melanerpes formicivorus School Hill West HNHR (5 June) watch to clinch it. 10 June 1645. Skip's best watches here have still produced a band combination for the ♀ that is not clearly attributable to anyone (♀ Reb/DBlue). Hence I'm now going to go and catch her in order to confirm who the heck she is. There is certainly 1800. ♀ is [illegible] L6-Res?/m #1608 from 1500 (we knew this). 1830. Line messed up. All for today. 11 June 900. Back again. 1130. Birds are here, babies are squealing, but noone is feeding. 12 June 1830. A brief attempt to nab the ♀ this evening. 1915. No luck. 13 June 815. Ant again. 930. Got her! As I kind of suspected, she's ♀1374. 945. And the babies: ① LBlue ② 1853 38.8 (19) 23.0 (15) 18 June *Group Update* Gone are 8530 ♀1687. Here in May '89, gone by winter (Nov.) at least → D.A. 0 August ± 3 month. New this spring are ♀1608. Moved from 1500 ~ 22 April ± 1 wlc. ♀1374. Returned ~ 22 April. 23 June 1000. Nest empty; swarming with ants but no dead babies inside or anything.
