1991 Waltd Koenig Melanerpes formicivorus LA2 HNHR 6 January 1530. Counted stores: Main tree: 2886 Back areas: 694 This group is doing just fine. Capacity is probably <4000; their storage areas are pretty much filled. 27 January *Group Update* j1869. NSAB. j1871. Last seen 13 July (Susanne), gone by 4 Oct. → 23 Aug 5w. 2 April 1135. Lots of acorns still here. 12 May Watched roosting tonight to try and identify who roosts in the nest. 81234+? roosted 1930. Well, "2" success. Two girls spent stayed in the hole; I was either 81234 or 81870; since the latter is a helper I'll presume the former. The 2nd I missed! I'll have to try again to confirm. 13 May 1935. Tonight 81874 and 81234 entered the hole; the 8 left leaving 81234 to roost alone in the nest tonight. 81234 roosted in vagt 18 May 1930. 81234 roosted in nest by himself again tonight. 23 May 1550. Came up to 6 band babies but the smallest are still kind of small and I failed to bring anything to plug the blood tubes with. There are 6 babies crammed in the hole here, however. 1950. Nomi watched tonight and once again had 81234 roosting by himself in the nest. 25 May 1600. Banded and bled the 6 babies here. 15 June 1430. Definitely lots of stores left here. 22 July Still lots of stores (MTS).
