1976 Walter D. Koenig Melanerpes formicivorus Lambert Hastings Reservation (12 May) 830. ♀ just went in to incubate. I'm off. Nothing definite, but I doubt that there are more than 4 birds here - possibly only these 3. Pierce: ♂119. Last seen 3 Nov.1975, gone by 14 Jan.'76 → Disappeared about 9 Dec.±1mo 14 May 825. watching from hide. 845. ♂ Pink/Pink #114(?) leaf gleaning (?) in Valley Oak up along the fence line. One other bird there also. Activity at nest as well. 852. Looking at ♀ again. Looks more like [illegible] in which case I don't know who he is. I'll have to wait until I get a better view. 857. A chase going on in nest tree, but I can't see well at all. Definitely an intruder here. 925. Things are simply not going well. Nobody is going to a visible spot. ♂ is most likely #114, but I should prefer to wait for a better watch before marking him as such. Again, if nothing else, I would say that there is no reason to feel that there are more than 3-4 birds here now. 930. ♀201 is now atop nest tree. Leaving to count stores. Stores: Lambert fallen tree: 382 Hastings fallentru: 1337 Other Valley Oak: 0 Nest + misc : 0 Total: 1719 The babies have hatched. I weighed and measured them at 1000. 16 May 1500. Measured the babies, who are all fine.
