1976 Walter D. Koenig 5 Melanerpes formicivorus Gate Hastings Reservation (15 March) including the 2 wing-streamered immatures (238 and 242). The count: Gate tree: O 355 Total: 355 Westgate tree: 355 Another bird was in the top of the Westgate tree, making 5. When I walked by several flew done to the sycamores by Hallisey's, where there was at least a 6th bird, and a 7th was in one of the holes in the Westgate tree above the road. One of the birds atop the Westgate tree was a tail spotted, un- banded ♂ (#320, presumed juvenile). ♂ La #58 was one of the birds who flew into the Westgate tree at 1955. At dusk, 6 birds roosted in the willow by the creek, 3 in each of the 2 holes (2 were the wing-streamered juveniles). I saw none looking out of any of the holes in either Gate or Westgate. 17 March Only 1 bird roosted in the hole tonight. 21 March Birds are now roosting in the willow and back in their '75 nest hole. 9 April 915. lots of movement in both Wgate and Gate areas; occasional chasing of somebody. lots of flights between storage trees and from one side of road to the other. Birds seen: ①♂ub with tail spots. Assumed #321, who should probably be assumed a juvenile from last spring, rather than adult. ②-3 2 unbanded ♂; #322 and 374. ④ ♂ 258 ⑤ ♂ RRLW#238. ⑥ ♂ 58 ⑦♂ 60 ⑧ ♂ 242. More birds? lots of walea greeting, lots of flights.
