1983 R.L. Numme 2 M. formicivorus Coral Viejo Canyon 2 May Went up to open the hole at OK corral, but ① I didn't flush anybody out when I walked up ② I found that the hole takes a strange dog-leg, so I couldn't see the bottom. Also, because of the dog-leg, I had the rope ladder in a poor position to work on the hole. Consequently, I will wait be sure there is a nest here before I open this hole. 4 May Did the CV canyon tour, 1500: Nobody looking out of holes at either CV#1, CV#2, or OK corral (has that nest, if it ever was a nest, failed?). A bird was in the nesthole at CV Grande, and as I walked up to Blom 3, I saw a ♀ briefly enter the "upper" hole in the 82 nest tree. In short, not a very successful trip over here. 10 May After flushing a bird out of [illegible] a different, easier hole at OK Corral (same tree). yesterday, I come back and open the hole today to find 5 eggs, ~day 6, meaning 6 June would be a good day to band 17 May I walk by OK Corral's nest, 0500, and though I don't flush anybody out, I do hear baby noises from within, so it would appear that the eggs have hatched. CV2 I watched a bit, checked the holes, still found no evidence of a nest yet. 27 May Banded a disappointing 1 nestling (J875) at CV Grande. See capture record. 4 May Banded 4 healthy, old (~26 days) nestlings at OK Corral. See caprecs. J883-J886
