1987. M. Stanback M. Formicivorus Buckeye HNHR 20 April 0745 arrive, 0800: 3 birds arrive - one is being chased - the remaining 2 sit for @ 30 sec and then fly (toward Chongo) Banded ? 0830 Yes - banded ?. I saw W-OT, so that means 987 is here. So who were those unbanded ? (there was only one)? Shit, a major mistake here. And 987 flew to the nest (same as last year). Shit, considering the # of acorus they have, they're probably about to hatch. 21 April 0900 4 eggs in nest. Palled one out to examine. Looked relatively fresh. Katy doing watch. 1 May 1300 5 eggs! Nice timing - no pipping yet.
