1987 M. Stanback M. formicivorus Bianca HNHR 13 May 1020-1050 I spy looking for a nest. The birds are hanging out very close to BKOK (even near BKOK's new hole. The hold(s) in the 85 tree are being inspected by bluebirds. The 86 hole has starlings. 29 May 0945-1030 Looked for nest, no luck. They are hanging out down in the far end of the field. Flycats into one of [illegible] the 85 area holes. 3 June 1000 BYN/LB (?) Whoops, I think this is 1234 From LAZ. 25 Aug 1130-1200 Saw NOBA & & LBLY = , 9 LB/W = 1230?? and 4 WLR = 1060 (?) Birds visited the bee tree nest hole twice! A nest?? 11 Sept 0945-1045 Yes, there's a nest in the bee tree hole. They're incubating. There's at least 2 NOBA 99 and I saw only 1232 in the & category (he incubated 3 times in this hour. 13 Sept dawn - came to kill bees. Entrance too big to block. 16 Sept 0530 Covered bee nest entrance w dirt, then inserted Flea Fogger. Climbed the ACW nest to find, after all that work, 2 dead babies. Stupid rapidigraph. Babies had coffeeberry seeds stuck to them. Babies looked as if deal 1-2 days. You wouldn't think they would abandon just because I stood under the nest for a bit on 13 Sept. One baby weighed 28.3 g, the other 24.9. They looked in good shape, though I didn't notice boluses and the birds stayed in the hole for @ 10min each bout.
