1977 Walter D. Koenig Melanerpes formicivorus 1500 Hastings Reservation (12 April) 1138. ⚫♀DBRW#348 here, several others. 1140. ⚫♀WWRW#[326] here. ⚫♂YellW#194. Neither ⚫ nor ⚫ are being chased, apparently. Action is intermittent. 1200. Note: ⚫ could be one of several birds... 1210. ⚫♀WWRW Yel/Red-? apparently #326, one of the P.O.Hill birds! In any case, she is doing lots of Carrick displaying. That's it! 1217. Chasing continues at one every several minutes. ⚫♀348 and 326 almost seem in this together ant are often with each other. 122?. There seem to be about 5 birds here seriously.. 1230. An OrLW was just getting chased: either ⚫334 or ⚫349, certainly much more likely the latter. 1237. A ⚫pub here also, not in the main pack 1247. ⚫♀OrLW (ruf/m) #349, back being chased again. 1247. The 2 ⚫♀ are still here constantly. There is at least a 2nd ⚫♂ here. ⚫326 is subordinate to ⚫348. 1250. A 2nd ⚫♂, ⚫LB / Light?, is probably #195 sans wing strmr. or perhaps more likely ⚫296. 1258. ⚫349 back getting chased. 1305. Also here: ⚫♂Or/4u-da#297, meaning the above bird was almost surely ⚫♂LB/LP#296, both 1st-yr. birds from School Hill. 1312. ⚫349 in tree 3 Carrick ing; finally being chased. 1325. Activity occasionally shifts across the creek. 1330. ⚫♂W#296 just returned to tree 1 alone with an acorn! 1333. ⚫pub Carricking alone in tree 3.
