1994 1995 Walter D Kaening Melanerpes formicivorus LPHF HNHE (23 May) near the nest hole, but I saw no remaining stores. This doesn't really mean that They are out, but they are probably fairly low. (Of course, I don't really know about anything beyond these 200+ holes that are here.) 1995 → 24 May 1045. Watched for ~10 minutes, not seeing anything except a couple of birds on the hill toward CV (but across the road). Could have been these birds. Certainly no sign of anything going on here. No stored acorns by the road, anyway. I saw a bird yesterday in the old granary, though, so Maybe there's something there? No sign of birds hanging out there today, though. 6 June 1100. Bird in last year's nest hole! Checked it: 4 eggs, a couple days incubated. Measured one: 24.0×18.3 17 June 930. Checked nest: 3 kids, ~4 do. (Band on ♀ 7/1). No sign of 4th egg. 26 June 2015. Watched roosting tonight expecting ♂ 2075 or ♂ 2445, but instead got ♂ M/WN-CA #1962, a ♂ MPHF ♂. Presumably all 3 are here? [NO] Critical point: ♂ 1962 roosted in nest! 3 July 1430. Banded & bled the 3 kids here.
