Melanerpes formicivorus
School Hill Hastings Reservation
19 Sept A pretty good nest watch here: details on back.
16 Nov Walked up here at 1500, and immediately flushed
the two fall babies, [illegible] 523 DBlue/white-DBlue
DGreen-BPink(in)/white
and 524 , out of the trees at the
northern end of the field. 1520, M86 LPink/Metal
flies in + perches in the main perch in the Valley Oak.
1600, M86 still there, and a F, which I'm certain
is F260 by facepattern, perched in the VO just uphill
from the enclosure. A baby squee-trtr from the upper
Yellow/DPink
VO within tho enclosure. 1605, M402
flies to where M86 is, some weak wakas. M402 has acorn.
J523 flies to him and starts to beg. M402 flies to "the other"
perch 2 meters away, places acorn in anvil. Nothing
happens. Complete gasus, so end 1620.
