1976 Walter D. Kornig Melanerpes formicivorus Lower Haystack Hastings Reservation (25 June) wing streamer on leftwing] flew into nest tree. A minute later ①⑦①H was here. 1020. ⑧①⑦H is sitting in Uptay tree with, among other things, a grasshopper (~1cm long) in his bill. 1024.②⑧①⑦④ hawking from telephone pole. ③⑧①⑦③ hawking from UH tree. ④⑧②③⑥ in UH tree a minute later. 1035.⑧①⑦④ fed babies. (insects) ⑤⑧①⑦② in storage tree. 1120.⑥♀ub hawking; has another Acridid (grasshopper) in her bill. 1130.②♀ R-w-B/wn #①⑨⑩ in nest tree; she's apparently lost her wing streamer. 1200. Enough. I am pretty convinced that ⑧⑤② is gone. Stores: only ①③①⑥ 4 July 920. Watching: 945. ⑨⑧①⑦BREW#①⑦① flycatching in storage tree; begging jun. there also. 1000. These birds are clearly pulling one of their disappearing numbers on me again. Oops-⑦⑨⑧①⑦W now in storage tree preening. 1004. Several birds down here now feeding babies: ⑤⑧①⑦③, ④⑧①⑦⑩, ③⑧①⑦RR #②③⑥. 1040.♀ just fed ②③①⑩ acorn bits. ⑩⑩⑩ 1120. j310, several others still in storage tree. No birds seen elsewhere so far. 1130. There is clearly a 2nd focus of activity somewhere, possibly in the canyon below the storage tree. In any case, I'm not seeing much, as even those birds here are staying on the opposite side of the storage tree. Goodbye. TURGE: ⑧⑤②. Last seen (none too well) 9 March, gone by 17 April,
