1997 Walter D Koenig 1998 Melanerpes formicivorus School Hill HOLTER (22 Aug) another nest here! The first of the fall! It's in the same hole as the others down in the enclosure. It has 1 baby ~1 week old and 1 unhatched egg. 23 August Ambushed (500) at the new upper hole - 4 birds, including 1 additional kid from the 1st nest who was molting to a ♀.
