1977 Walter D. Koenig Melanerpes formicivorus School Hill (9 July) 1111.♀ here preening for several minutes. 1135.①♂DBRW#86 in tree 2. 1150.②♀ub in tree 1 now alone. 1210. 2 babies here: ③jyel/da-la#399 plus a 2nd (?) 1215. There may, I fear, be 2 adult ♀♀ here (I definitely see 2 here - 1 ub♀ atop tree 1 and a 2nd♀ in tree 2.) Arrgh. Also a 2nd adult♂ here. 2nd♂ is ④♂ or /yel#88! Good! 1230.②♂wn-1la#256. 1315. 2nd adult ♀ here is ⑥♀m/Red#191, another wayward offspring possibly now returned. Also here is a baby, who I had a fair-poor look at and who I think was ④jyel/Reddish#402. I'll obviously have to return again to try and search out the other babies. 10 July 1210. Watching. 1245.♀ub in sap tree, flew to tree 1. 1255.②♂wn-1la#256, flew to sap tree. 1320.③♂LP/m#86 in tree above exclosure. 1328.①jyel/Reddish#402 in tree 1; just executed a beautiful hawklike flight ≈ 50 ft above the tree with twists and turns, 1350.③♂ or /4♂? #88 above exclosure now. 1430. Leaving. j402 here again briefly, but otherwise I was following a 3-4 adults only the entire time, suspiciously unac- companied by begging babies. Birds were in the sap tree (at the Forest edge above the nest tree), in the main area and above the exclosure. Even the [2] babies that are here were cryptic (j399 not even seen today), so I can't be sure, but my guess is that j400 & 401 are no longer with us.
