Melanerpus formicivorus

7 January 1230. Counted stores: 375. This tree is quite full; I'd put capacity at well under 1000 and probably on the order of 850.
27 January *Group Update*
♀1892. NSAB.
♀1579. Last seen 5 Oct (Nancy/Mark), gone by 26 Oct.
→ D.A. 15 Oct ± 2 wks.
♀1891. Last seen 26 Oct (Amy), gone by 9 Nov. →
D.A. 3 Nov. ± 1 wks.
Hanging out here these days are the 2 Greeder ♂♂
along with ♀1571 & ♀1688 from Westgate. What's
up? Will one or both stay? Maybe breed in both groups?
840. There are definitely birds here (3 at least).
845. ♂♂/♀♀-? #1513.
910. Finally: @♀R/LB#1571; ♂ Light-/Light- #1512. Chasing
intruder.
Well, I'm convinced that ♀1571 (and caught ♀1688 also)
have abfuscated Westgate and moved here, explaining why
The Gazebos ♀♀ are now at Westgate.
8 May
*Group Update*
♀♀1571 & 1688 moved here ~15 April ± 2 wks (note that
they've been toying with this idea much of the winter).
1500. After Monné reported birds spending lots of time in the
hole this morning I checked the hole: 5 fresh eggs!
However: I broke 2 eggs getting in, so I only left 3.
After consultation (we'd like to get egg-tossing here),
we decided that Stanback would take the eggs tomorrow
after laying. Monné will then start watching on Friday.
