1976 Walter D. Koenig Melanerpes formicivorus 1500 Hastings Reservation 19 May Nobody seen in pass during late morning. (later #42 seen here (at the road). See 1800 notes. 24 May 1045. One bird over in sap area, but disappeared before I could identify him. Nobody else seen. 30 May 1230. A ♀ was in tree 2 over here giving several karit-cuts.

Heard a call here (karit-cut). Went over to find a banded ♀, gw/w #42 I think, in tree 3. I lost her when she flew down after several minutes. A little later she flew over toward 1800. The former 1500 group is certainly gone. 12 June 2010. Looked over here only to discover one bird up in tree 1 and then walked over to find a second flushing from what may be a roost hole (?) in tree 2. Neither could be identified, but some watching is definitely called for. 18 June 1815. Watching. 1830. ☐ Nothing I should mention that the former nesthole atop tree 3 (used last in 1994) has finally broken and ☐ nearly fallen off - definitely unusable. It has been getting like this for 3-4 months now. 19 June 1230. While walking back along the road, we flushed 2-3 birds who had apparently been sap-sucking just up from the road on the School Hill side across from 1500. They all went up and out of
