Dec 88 Acorn Count: 2500
* * Group Update * 1518 disap 88 1112 รท 3W
21 Mar 1030 Hello holes - nothing. Saw 1517.
23 Mar 1150 Hello holes - nothing.
28 Mar 0900-0930 Watched. Saw 1232, 1515, 1516, 1517,
1519. Also saw 4 L.D.L (is this 1518?)
These guys have @ 1000 holes in the dead tree by
the nest tree (88) (1518 is DAP(n)/DG)
1 Apr 1200 Hello holes - nothing. Starling in bee tree hole.
5 Apr 0900 1 bird in hole above 88, 2 others to 88 hole.
10 Apr 1111 Climb 88 hole: 3 eggs! 2 round, 1 elongated.
The long one (#2) and a round one (#3) had 'veins', the
other round one (#1) didn't. I removed #3.
11 Apr 1100 2 new eggs - I removed both (pm nest watch)
12 Apr 1415 1 new egg (: total of 3 in nest) I let it stay.
So 3+2+1 = 6 and if they lay 1 more = 7.
Hardly a Flicker experiment (esp since they hatched >
last year) Thus acorn woodpeckers can count.
20 Apr 1045 Well, at least they're Fertile...
