1978 Ronald L. Mumme 1 Melanerpes formicivorus 1800 Hastings Reservation 14 Sept Arrived around 1420 to watch roosting in the hole where Walt had set ambush earlier in the day. Two birds came fairly early, still light enough to see that the first bird in was ♂, second unknown. After both had entered, one bird peered out of the hole for a few minutes on two separate occasions. 15 Sept A successful ambush. The ♂ was christened #476 Black/ Light Green, Black/Light Green. ♀ in hole was #260 White/Dark Blue, White/Metal. 26 Nov ♂476 ♂ Black/L. Green seen foraging in locusts around barn, in Y territory, about 1000. Then seen to fly SW down valley, toward 1600. Another AW was seen in the same tree minutes earlier, before it too flew toward 1600. Didn't see bands, but I suspect ♀ #260. One other AW seen briefly here, some aggression. Don't know what the story is.
