1977 Walter D. Koenig Melanerpes formicivorus 1500 Hastings Reservation (17 July) 193. Also a School Hill West convert who came down to 1850 during the revolution but did not return to School Hill with 191, and is thus presumably back at School Hill West. I ought to go check for sure, however. 18 July 840. Several 38 here along with 348. 29 July 3296 in Nest tree at 1850. See 1850 notes. 31 August 1220. 7DBRW #348 with an acorn in tree 1. Other birds in the vicinity. 3 September Several of the birds (348, 38296, 298) seen over in the nest tree at 1850, which apparently is now (still) part of 1500's territory! 1230. Seen in tree 1 on the way back were 4 birds, inc. 3296, and a poor look at who was most likely 3297 (3 or-) 15 October 1310. 3LG-DG/DG-Y #298 in Tree 1, along with lots of new acorns. 1320. 3297 seen at Pump (see Pump notes). 6 November 1555. Here briefly. (1) 7DBRW #348 in tree 3. 1558 (2) 3 Red/DR-ish /or #88 (!) in tree 3. With the 3. He's certainly one of the more indecisive birds on the reservation! 1602.
