1982 R.L. Mumme Melanerpes fcrmicivorus School Hill 19 April Checked the hole via peeper: Still No eggs, 1730. 21 April " " " " " Hey, 2 eggs, 1530! 28 April Opened the hole today, marked + measured 6 eggs (see nest record for details). This means that egg #6 was laid on 25 April, meaning I should anticipate hatching about 6 May and banding about 28 May. 10 May Peeped in here to check for hatching. I'm shy about opening this hole too many times, since the wood is so thin and the whole thing is tough to put back together. Anyway, looking in I saw 2 unhatched eggs (for sure) and I'm fairly sure 4 babies (3 for certain), ~ 4 days old I guessed. 28 May Banded 3 young (753-755), 1400. I may have blown the estimate of young on 10 May 5 June Counted stores 0900: 500 TOTAL 17 June Around Sunset, I flush 2 juveniles from the 1980 failed nest hole 18 June ** GROUP UPDATE ** ① 9668 returned to School Hill ~ 20 May 1982 (See Y notes) 19 Aug Found all 3 Still juvies down around Yt Pump, 0700.
