1977 Walter D. Koenig 5 Melanerpes formicivorus Hastings Reservation (30 April) a lot of interest in the '75 nest hole even in the few minutes I was able to watch them, so perhaps they'll be good to us all and nest there. 5 May 2005. Birds roosting in the sycamore (the weird hole) and the Blue Oak in the hole I cut open last year (which wouldn't be a bad place to nest at all). 7 May 1700. Bird(s) in hole in Blue Oak in knoll again (not for roosting or nesting necessarily - it's raining and cold out.) 9 May 1100. FWRW#326 and 288 seen on the far edge of the knoll. By now, 4 birds have recovered all but this tall perch tree and the sap tree from these birds (presumably #326 and the School Hill 1st-year birds). 13 May Birds using both holes in the big sycamore at dusk. 19 May Monica's last day. 20 May 930. Flushed 1-2 birds up Canyon (School Hill side). 1120. Checked both holes up the canyon: the one in the small tree by opening my cut and the other by carefully probing with my widget. Nothing in either. 1430. Watching. 3-4 birds in tree up Gulch along Co. road in dead limb. Could definitely be a hole there. (≈50m up from main granary). ♀364, ♂16, and ♂261 there for sure. No intruders on knoll or elsewhere. 1455. At least those 3 still there. ♂322 also can be seen. 3 together within a foot, [illegible] 1515. ♀ here for sure; others not clear. Went to check limb; the backside does have several holes, which may be useable. No birds in any of them, though.
