1982 R.C. Munne 7 Melanerpes formicivorus Lambert (11 May) which means I probably didn't screw up the egg-laying by my ambush, since the clutch was probably complete about the 29th 18 May Alan watched here 1½ hr, saw only ♂545 feed 22 May Checked the hole, 1300: 3 nice 12-13 day old nestlings. I also looked at other holes, in the remote chance that there may be another nest here, too, but found nobody looking out of holes, 31 May 1230: Banded & bled 3 Nestlings (see capture records), now Juvs. #775-777 7 June Counted stores, 1600: Fallen limbs 675 Broken Top Valley Oak 50 Fireline area 10 735 TOTAL 14 June 1700 I walk up here to look for a possible second nest. Flushed several birds, and I think I heard a fledged juvenile among them. But no sign of a second nest 18 June ** GROUP UPDATE ** ① ♂689 + ♂691 returned to Black Oaks 20 March 1982 ± 2 weeks (see Black Oaks notes) LB116/M 27 June A quick look here 0715, Very quiet.
