1987 M. Stanback M. Formicivorus LAZ HNHR (7 April) 1515 Climbed 86 hole. It looks Fine inside, but the hole itself has been widened considerably! (man I fear it's no good any more (do I treat it as ruined for N55?) There were some feathers in a crotch near the hole with some as if someone got nailed not too long ago. 9 April 0800 lots of vocalizations here 10 April 1100 Bird flushed from 86 hole on arrival - despite its wide open hole. I brought plaster to fix the hole, but upon seeing the bird, decided not to. No eggs. 12 April 1305 Nice timing. From BROK-Bian I spot the 86 hole and within 1 min a bird goes to the hole, sits 30 sec, goes in for twenty, leaves, then another follows. Climbed, nest empty. Must be tossing? 13 April 1430 Still empty. 14 April 1300 Still empty. Opened and chips in bottom don't look that new. Spied from A1 and 3 birds went into a shitty hole facing N, the highest hole in the highest limb of the burned snag. Bloody great. 1330 Not so fast, birds are now visiting the 86 hole. 15 April 1300-1315. Watched 86 hole. At 1310 a 2nd landed at the hole. Immediately another 2nd came over + started beating the shit out of the 1st 2nd. He pecked away as the pair moved up the limb. Mounting + pecking. Attacker flew off. 1st 2nd stayed on limb awhile. A few mins later 2nd RW entered hole for @ 30 sec, Empty!
