1976 Walter D. Koenig Melanerpes formicivorus Upper Arnold 2 Hastings Reservation 24 March 1150. 9128 in storage tree; at least 2 others in upper part near the field, one of whom was 9207, a juv. from A3. It turned out (9207) that she was sap sucking up in the Blue Oaks just behind the big live Oak between the territories, about midway twist the 2 storage trees. 9 April 1230. 9 was sitting in storage tree, presumably 128. A second bird may have been in the tree also; I thought I saw a 8 fly out independently from the 9. 19 April 8 RRR#205 (A3) seen here with a second bird (presumably 9128.) See A3 notes. 1930. 9 sitting in "nest" tree alone. I never got her bands because she insisted on freezing with her tarsi covered until I was right underneath her and turning away; surely this was 9128 however, as that's exactly how she acts. None else in the vicinity. 22 April 1320. 8 RRR#205 sitting alone atop the Valley Oak 'nest' tree here again. Off hand I did not see the 9. Later 205 seen with other A3 birds at A3 (see A3 notes). 23 April 1245. 9 - possibly unring and not 9128 - sitting alone in 20 (more or less unused) storage tree. Not a whole lot of stores left. No other birds seen. 1255. While contemplating some small Blue Oak trees with lots of AW sap holes in there, 9144 [left bands seen] #198 from Black Oak came cruising over my head and landed in one of them. He stayed for 15 seconds to check me out and then flew toward A3. 1300. Leaving.
