Melanerpes formicivorus

12 May
It turns out that, as best we can tell, there's only 1
♀ here! Only ♀ (57). So Mark did not remove the
remaining 3 eggs. (If only I could find some Lewis'
Woodpecker eggs to replace them with....)
23 May
900. Checked the hole, expecting young babies, to find 3 large
(>30g) kids (smallest was <30g, but other 2 were not); my
guess is that they're ~7 do at least, hence hatching must
have been back on ~16 May.
26 May
1030. Still 3 babies and again no parasite board. I also
failed to bring up The 100g pesola so I didn't even weigh
them. They largest has eyes just opening, though, so
they are about 10d old.
27 May
1950. ♂1513 roosted in the nest by himself tonight.
29 May
2000. All 3 girls fed during the twilight moments; once
again ♂1513 roosted by himself in the nest.
3 June
2000. Both ♂1512 & ♂1513 roosted in the nest tonight.
4 June
Stanback watched tonight and got ♂1513 roosting in
the nest.
15 July
1545. Still some stored acorns here.
1992
1 January
1145. Only 25 acorns stored here (presumably Westgate's).
According to Connie, have moved to Horsetail!
where they are storing and everything!
