1994 1995 1996 Walter D Koenig 2 Melanerpes formicivorus FAAP HNHR 24 May 1230. Banded & bled the 3 kids here. By the way, there are still acorns in a limb (low) in the nest tree, so these guys are not out of stores even though they have no real granary. 1995 21 April 1430. Bird in hole! Checked it - empty but in OK shape. There are a fair number of acorns remaining here, mostly in the old spindly VO over by the fence (where there are several old nest holes - but the oak tree is largely disintegrating). 24 May Banded the 4 kids here! There are still stored acorns here, amazingly enough. 29 June And still some stored acorns here. 1996 9 January 1540. Birds have made the spindly old nest tree by the old fence (now dead) into a decent granary with 750 acorns! Along with another 80 in the snag across the fence, these birds have 790 stored acorns - not bad at all! I'll have to look and see if I have any notes to this effect, but I think that most of the holes in the new granary are new since 1993-94, at least. 12 April 1435. Birds still have stores here! None in any holes, though. 7 June 1030. Banded & bled the 2 kids here. Still some stores here!
