1991 Waltin D Koenig Melanerpus formicivorus Gate HNHR 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.
