1977 Walter D. Koenig Melanerpes formicivorus Haystack-Blonquist Hastings Reservation (14 December) mostly in the area just below the granary to the edge of the forest. 945. I'm not sure what's happening, but the extra birds causing the activity below the main area are occasionally penetrating to here. I definitely saw at least one such bird, 8307 (black △) who may have been either (8307) from L.Hay or 8246, the bird from here who moved over to Blonquist's. (The black triangle may tell me). 1000. There are definitely some other strange banded and un- birds here (♀ M / ?). 1015. There is definitely something happening peripherally here. On the way back I'll try to track some more birds down. 15 Dec: 8307 has black dot; this him.
