1977 Walter D. Koenig 7 Melanerpes formicivorus 1500 Hastings Reservation (4 April) It looks unfortunately possible that ♂195 has lost his streamer already. (Or he may not be here at all, see below). 835. There are still 5-6 birds here and some chasing going on. 837. ♂LB/CP #296 (School Hill 1st-year) here in tree 3; not being chased, apparently. 845. ♀CA-DA/ ♂?#298 (School Hill) also hawking up in tree 3 and not one of the chased birds (sitting freely next to ♂194 and sometimes ♀348). 850. ♀348 and ♂194 still being seen regularly. ♂296 still here. 902. ♂?/♂?DA#297 (the 3rd Sch.Hill 1st-yr bird) here also; when seen he looked furtive, however, and may have been chased- 906. ♂296 just chased a Scrub Jay out of tree 1. 910. ♂297, ♀348, ♂194, and a 4th bird together (peacefully) in tree 3. Who I don't keep seeing are ♂?88 and 195. In fact, I now question whether I saw them at all in the first place. 915. ♀298 with ♂194 in tree 3. ♂296 in tree 1. 920. An ♂?♀ got chased by ♀348 from tree 3, then out of the LSS. 930. Leaving. Things are obviously still quite confused and up in the air here. In any case, I do think that ♀348 should be considered a resident here now. Mainly, it seems to be ♀348, ♂194, the School Hill 1st-yr birds, and some miscellaneous intruders kicking around here. 12 April 1130. More "revolution" activity here this morning noted as I emptied insect traps. I am now here to watch Chasing going on now in LSS.
