1996 Walter D. Koenig Melanerpes formicivorus Y Hastings Reservation 20 June 1210. Several birds in the corner Live Oak; some aggressive postures and an work indicating an intruder. The apparent intruder flew around about the Y and while in one of the near sycamores was identified as ♀[illegible]/♂[illegible], which is ♀166 from 1800. She soon took off toward Plaque. 22 June Only 2 birds roosted in the sycamore tonight; 3 were seen (the 3rd went up the side of School Hill). 24 June 1915. Saw the 2 unringed ♀♂ together on the knoll; once again one was very obviously submissive to the threats of the other, begging and squealing when the dominant bird pecked at it for getting in the way. 1930. 3 ♀♂ here at least; ♂[illegible]/♂[illegible] #259 seen. Second unringed ♂ not positive. Birds sapsucking in the Live Oak. 1940. 2 intruders appeared and were displaced and worked at by 2 of the ♀♂ and ♀16; one was an unringed ♀, who was not chased particularly vigorously; the other was ♂[illegible]/♂[illegible] M/-, who was displaced rather abruptly. Unfortunately, those bands don't seem to indicate anyone off hand especially likely. 1945. Leaving. 2300. It would appear as though I either missexed the banded "intruder" or that it was ♂259 (?). Certainly there were 2 intruders here, however, even if I did look at the wrong bird. 1 July Only 2 birds roosted in the sycamore again tonight; nobody else was heard. 2 July 945. One of the banded ♀♂ was up on the knoll. 1000. ♀16 and a ♂ have come to the Lower Barn area.
