1976 Walter D. Koenig 7 Melanerpes formicivorus Black-Oak Hastings Reservation (18 July) 910. There are still birds and calls (including those of juveniles) coming from all over. There is, however, an unbanded juvenile below me in the forest who just flew up to the side storage area here following an adult. 925. More displacing going on; it's hard to know for sure, but my guess is that the juveniles calling do not belong here. 932. ♀102 just picked a green Q. kelloggii acorn and is eating it! 945. On the other hand, the juveniles(s) are definitely persisting here. One is now sitting in the central storage area softly wrinking. 955. Except for the continued periodical chasing that's occurring and which succeeds in confusing the issue of who really belongs here, I'd say there are definitely 1-2 jwvs. here. 1025. The unbanded jwv. was just fed by PWRW #197 - they did indeed succeed in pulling off a clutch despite me! The calls indicate that there are most likely 2 of them. 1032. A Cooper's Hawk is causing some consternation down the hill. 1107. New information definitely is coming in very slowly. Next project is to find the roost hole here and ambush! There are definitely 2, but probably not more, juveniles here. I returned at dusk and found the tree with the roost hole (which also was most likely the nest also); juvenile squeeing was heard at the roost, confirming their presence. For now they will be #456 and 457. 20 July Stopped by to look for the roost hole, but found no unambiguous candidate in the tree where I heard them on the 18th. One of the unring babies was here, however. 29 July 1100. 4-5 birds here. Counted stores: side: 61 central area 495 } 556
