1976 Walter D. Koenig Melanerpes formicivorus 2 Arnold 3 Hastings Reservation 20 January Put up the net between 930-1400, catching 2 birds: ♂#120 at 1250, last seen in November, and ♀ unbanded (Adult), who is now #254 after having been #362 (at 1400). No blood was taken, furthermore the ♂ was only observed and clipped, no measurements were taken. Later a bird who flew to the top of UA2 from this side flushed by circling back around toward A3 nest tree. 21 January 1145. Watching. 1150. (①♂ub ②♀ub in tree near storage tree (group members?))

(④♂ RRR flew to same area. 1200. A ♀ (ub?) now being chased by (①♂ ub below storage tree. 1210. (⑤♂ Red/DA-Or #255 below storage tree w/ ③; possibly involved in more chasing. 1220. (⑥♂ LBRW#204 came to storage tree to chase off a dickey bird. 1222. (②♀ub returned with acorn bit to tree above storage tree, at least in partly in response to my tape.

She is not (②), who is here also and does not have tail spots. 1308. Things are not so clear: A♀ub responded to my tape, landing in the tree above the storage tree, but was soon followed, and subsequently chased and threatened, by (③♀#255. Perhaps whoever she is,
