1990 Walter D Koenig Melanerpes formicivorus Buckeye Annex HNHR 9 June 1415. f in the hole here! 1745. Bird in hole again!. Climbed and checked it: empty. But I'd be surprised if something doesn't happen here shortly. The bird flushed the opposite direction from Buckeye proper, by the way, so I bet this is a separate group. 15 June 1900. 4 birds in the upper of the 2 holes! Checked it: empty. Set ambushes at both holes. 16 June 430. Got 2 NOBAs (♂, ♀); neither was in breeding condition nor does either hole have eggs. Both are probable 1st yr birds. So who are those other birds that didn't roost here? (Only 2 birds came back and I got them both). For now I will credit this group with a resident pair as of • May 0th.
