Judging by plumage and timing, Beaner was paired with Nicaragua 11P at Hastings in 1988; at NSP Bayport unpaired until 07/07/89, when he replaced Radar, killed that day by a plane on Holman Field, St. Paul. Remained for season at NCL. A late migrant, Beaner returned 04/09/90 to find Meg already with 3 eggs laid, 4th on the way, fertilized by Maverick 05T. Ousted Maverick, raised his young. Paternity and maternity proved by DNA analysis. Note that dispersal information above is misleadingly simplistic.
