1992 Walter D Koenig 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.
