1977 Walter D. Koenig Melanerpes famicivorus Lower Haystack Hastings Reservation (10 October) 1115.②[♀]ub hawking in UHay tree. Not seen real well, however. 1120.④♀Lg/m #391 now in UH tree. 1130.③♂ M/ Dc-Pink #236 working stores with others in Main granary. Seen better a minute later in UH trees. 1155.②♂DBRW#309; storing 1245. Though the birds are not especially visible in the granary, I still have now seen all the banded birds several times except for j390. The ub♀ was barely, if at all seen, however, so it will take another good watch to be sure of all this. Nonetheless I suspect that ♀391 may be the only juvenile left. 1300. Leaving. Birds still busy storing. 25 October 945. Watching. None here at the moment. 951.①♀La/m #391. Some Garricks off in the distance somewhere. (Something going on not too far from here). 1000. Birds busy storing. ②♂D6/or-DG#236; ③♂R-w-B/wn#170. 1005.④♂DRW#307. 1013.③♂DBRW #309 over in the 2º tree. 1021. Somebody just got chased out of the main tree 1026. Well I'll be: ②♀gel-/Red-Bik #390 for sure storing in the 2º tree! Good thing I came and looked again! 1045. Leaving. Got everyone except the ub♀, whose continued presence I certainly wouldn't swear to, but, on the other hand, she has been known to disappear for months on end in the past. And if j390 can go unfound since July, she can certainly have been missed since August. 13 December ③391 seen intruding at Hay-Blom (see Hay-Blom notes) 14 December 1100. Counted stores: Main tree: 4410 (5022)
