1991 WaltrnD Koenig Melanerpes formicivorus Upper PTH HNNR 27 January *Group update* juvs 1818, 1819, 1820, 1821, 1829→ All gone! Only 1819 was seen after banding ♀♂ on 20 June, gone by 6 Oct → Aug ± 2 months. δ1713. Last seen 15 May, gone by 6 Oct. → D.A. 26 July ± 2 mo. 7 April 930. There are stores remaining here. Saw ♀ NOBA, in a rather tight flock of 4 grifs. Presumably this suggests they're mate-quarting here. 30 April 815. Saw ♀ NDBA, ♂ M/E-WCN) #1285 up here. 2 May 710. Watching up here for a bit. 6 May 900. Found a hole new to me in the next tree facing CVarande (roughly)! Tried to peep it, but couldn't really see the bottom. 11 May 1500. Still noone in any of the known holes up here. I'm beginning to wonder about these guys... 16 May 715. ♀ in last year's nest hole! Checked: 4 eggs, clear but not laid today. Set up an ambush for the eventual capture of the ♀. 18 May 1410. Peeped the nest here, confirming a final clutch size of 4. 25 May 830. Checked nest: 3 hatchlings plus one unhatched and infertile egg. Babies surely hatched within the last 24 hrs. 29 May 1545. 2 live and 1 dead baby. Parasite board gone. ① Orb 26.5 ② DBB 20.5 ③ (Dead) 19.0. The dead baby, who looked good otherwise, was taken for a tissue sample. Mark looked at him and noted general marks typical of an abused baby - red tip of wing, ☑ in bill, etc. It is fat, though. I took some tissue and made him #1945. 30 May 2000. I watched roosting here but nobody came!? Hopefully
