1994 1995 1996 Walter D Koenig Melanerpes formicivorus Buckeye HNHR 9 August 530. Ambushed at the old hole in the granary (Where there are still plenty of stores) and got 2 birds - 82173 + 92091. Many saw kids here, but no luck catching them yet. At least 2 NOBA juvs here, 12 October 600. Ambushed this morning at the one nice hole in the granary: Jennifer thought she saw 5 birds go in; we got 3, but 2 were the NOBA juvs! Also got 82174. Hope we can finally piece together what happened here. The juvs were just beginning to molt - so they did probably fledge late this year (i.e., summer). 1995 19 May 1200. Came over to Buckeye Annex after Pete saw a bird here, but nothing. Plenty of stores at Buckeye, however 1996 3 January 1230. Definitely life here: granary is about ½-¾ full. Hardly indicative of a good year, but certainly not terrible. 11 April 1615. Bird in hole! No baby noises, though. Group here seems to have lost a big chunk of their granary (~400-500 holes), but still has acorns remaining. 1620. None over at Buckeye annex. 12 April 1245. Opened the hole after dragging The ladder up: zilch, but looks in reasonable shape. 21 April None in any holes here. 12 June None in any holes, but there are still stores here (This is a supplemented group).
