1977 Walter D. Koenig Melanerpes formicivorus 900 (2 June) ⑤ This group does have stores left, which I am now going to count: Main Tree: 206 Nest Tree: 0 current ⑥ I surely saw most/all of the 1° participants in this unfolding dramatic production. 5 June 1915. Back again. I've heard some activity here indicative of the continuance of the former activity, but it is rather late so I'm not sure whether or not to expect much now. 1925. 4 birds appeared briefly: ①♂334, ②♀w/m#260, ③♀DB-?/DB#193, and ④♀M/red #191. No antagonism was seen between anybody, but one of the 2 ♀♀191/193 was still squeezing a lot (submissively). 1930. Several birds now meeting down in the trees by the creek. Going down, I see ④♂ light-Dk/w? most likely #347, and ♀193. Obviously things are still going strong here, and I should watch earlier in the day soon- 1940. Activity is shifting even further up: ≥2 birds sitting on the '74 nest tree now! 8 June 1130. Activity in both major areas here; at least 2 birds flushed from the nest tree as I approached, one of whom was ♂a-Dk/m#298. Now watching the main tree. 1200. Nobody returned to the main tree. Things rather subdued, though there's still more activity than usual. Apparently, though, the membership here is now pretty well settled. 14 June 1100. A bird in tree 4 at 1500 flushed as I walked underneath to the nest tree here, was ♂a-Dk/m#298. Also a 2nd bird here; plus one calling across the field. But still rather quiet. 1103. ♀ in old tree across the field.
