1986 M. Stanback M. formicinorma BKOK HNHR 3 April 1500 - 1600. Birds here very shy. Saw several but identified only 1189 4 GW (N)LB-W-LP 31 March 1545 8 1006 was seen at the "interaction" between AI, FAAR 11 April 0945 Found nest - same as last year. Census 8 K/RW 426 8 MvY Lite/Dark 1009 9 M 9 MKY YKY 1004 8 KO 8 RW/WR 1006 8 LP/R 744 9 Y/RY(W) (N) 1190 1045 6 eggs (27 April, 6 babies) 22 April 1230 5 (?) large babies. Eyes still closed, but Feather tracts showing clearly. Tail Feathers this big. I didn't have anywhere to put babies while counting, but I'm pretty sure it was Five. They should be bandable in one week. I suggest early banding - once they're big they will climb above entrance. 1
