1977 Walter D. Koenig Melanerpes formicivorus Hastings Reservation (21 June) 1636. 8261 left without a replacement. 1646. A 8 slipped by me and is now in the hole (is 8261 again). 1648. Flew away again leaving the hole unattended. 1652. 8261 back again with food in bill. 1655. 916 came with a billful replacing 8261. 1710. 8 left 9% a replacement. 1712. 8 looking out! Left hole 1715. 8RR#322 came w/ food. 1723. 8322 left hole 1724. 8261 entered hole. Left at 1725. 1725. 916 entered hole w/ food. Left very soon thereafter. 1731. 8261 to hole again. 1732. Left hole. 1741. 916 in. 1745. 8 out, removed fecal sac. 1746. 8261 in. 1747. Out. 1749. 8261 in again. 1750. Out. 1752. 8261 in again. 1753. Out. 1756. 8261 again. 1756. 2 Out. 1817. 916 with big load of food. 1820. Leaving. All feedings, best I could tell, were of insect material I'm sure about the identities I state above today. Apparently, however, 8364 is involved little if at all in this operation, and thus I suspect my identifications for previous watches (based solely on wing-streamers or lack thereof) were probably ok as well. I'll find out for sure when I see 8364 again. 22 June 1540. Watching hole. None inside. 1600. 8322 came, went in as 916 came. Both fed and left soon after
