Melanerpes fornicatus
Buckeye
HNHR.
(7 June) 856. ♂ 1398 fed, finally.
904. ♀ DP/M fed-
918. ♂ 1399 is indeed here, but wouldn't go in...
953. ♀ knocked 666er town. Resetting it.
21 June *Every Update*
♀♂ 1475 & 1696 were here in March (Connie) and again
on 5 May (Jim), but must have not been planning
on staying - the next here had to have been started
about 2 May or so!
1 September 1430. Noone in any holes here.
11 September After several lucky close calls we appear to have
missed a nest here- Valerie had a baby hanging out
of the hole this morning who wasn't there by the
time we got a ladder up here this afternoon. Bother!
Assuming they fledged today (not certain, but as good
a guess as any) this would make an est. LED of
about 1 August.
9 October 615. Ambushed The nest hole and got 4 grifts: ♀ 2090, ♀ 2091 (molting to ♀) and 2 babies. Hopefully, this is all there are from the
missed nest.
