1994 1995 Walter D Koenig Melanerpes famicivorus Arnold 1 H N H R (13 June) 4 kids, about 4-5 days old (a guess). Est LED: 28 May 200D. Watched roosting here. First came ♂/e-w#1027, then after a bit ♂♀/wn#1026. But then, ♂yellow#1222 came, and one of the (1st 2 ♂♂) left and roosted over in the 1st nest hole! 81222 then entered. So all I can really say is that all 3 were there, 81222 + 1 other roosted (either 81026 or 1027). 29 June 830. Banded & bled the 4 kids. 18 July 1845. Plenty of stores still here. 1995 # 21 April 1530. 2 birds in new hole just on traditional limb in granary. Opened it: 5 eggs, 1 looks incubated, rest still translucent. I measured one: 23.3 x 18.5 mm. No runts or anything. 3 May 1030. Came to check the nest, only to find that the limb has (finally) fallen, taking with it the hanging limb hole as well as the old traditional hole facing the road! One of the few casualties due to falling limbs, and the loss of an old limb friend, of sorts. RIP! 11 May 1025. Bird in new hole, high in snag in forest above granary! Will require the big ladder, I fear!, fairly fast, anyway. 16 May 1030. Opened the new hole! 9 fresh eggs - no runts - and one with a dent in it! Apparently now 2 ♂♀ here?? 30 May 1445. Checked hole: 6 kids, 10-11 do! Set ambush. 9 June 1400. Banded & bled the 6 kids here.
