1982 R.L. Mumme 3 Melanerpes formicivorus Chongo (28 May) the snake never emerged. Alan + I walk up at 1800 (1900 daylight), I check the hole + find one terrorized Acorn Woodpecker nestling. Presumably, the two others were eaten, but that is of course unknown. I say, the remaining nestling was terrorized, because it did not give the usual begging calls when I opened the hole. Instead, it gave continuous peepings that a 10-day old nestling gives after being handled. I will have to check here tomorrow. The remaining nestling was undamaged, as far as I could tell. 1 June I walk up here at 1830 and am amazed to flush a bird from the nest hole and hear a baby squawking inside. The nest is still active! At least for the moment, as the snake could return at any time. 4 June 1930, flushed an adult from the nest, peeped in, and found one nestling still doing quite well. He may make it yet. 8 June Counted stores, 1845: 150 TOTAL Also, I heard peeping from the nest (I think), so the nest is still going. 11 June Banded the one nestling here; doing well, new Juv #801 18 June ** GROUP UPDATE ** ① 9565 disappears 20 April 1982.
