1982 R.L. Muhme 4 Melanerpes formicivorus BlackOak (14 June) using carabineers, sticks, etc., but gave up after awhile. Also, the eggs have hatched already. I flushed a fledged juvenile and an adult from the nest as I walked up, and heard the peepings of what sounded like just-hatched nestlings.

Now Juvs. 888 828 + 829. Though they are minimally 21 days old, they are way behind in size. (See capture records). On top of that, their blood was very thin (“iron poor”), and spun down to only a few red cells and a lot of plasma. I barely got enough for a decent sample 18 Aug Counted storks, 1630 Fallen Limb 550 Also good looks at Juvs Main Area 850 741, 742, 744, and OK 2° Area 20 look at J829, all sapsucking from -after, J828 and 8713 the "traditional" Live Oak sap tree, seen near Bianca-
