1983 R.L. Mumme Melanerpes formicivorus Chongo 6 Jan Watching from Buckeye, 1230-1300, I see the ♂NB and ♀ dark left eye in the granary, but nobody else.

This clutch hatched late, because incubation was apparently delayed for a day or two here (see Walter's notes June Walter reports failure, dead nestling in hole, absence of acorns,
