1977 Walter D. Koenig 14 Melanerpes formicivorus Plague Hastings Reservation (14 June) At dusk, a bird was in the telephone pole hole (don't know who) but noone joined it and I saw nobody else anywhere at all. 16 June 1135-1225. Watched. Saw 822 for awhile, sapsucking in the Live Oaks by the bunkhouse, hawkng from Plague, and finally flying to the Live Oak by the Pumphouse again, where 8361 flew out and up past the upper barn. Didn't see the ? at all again. No indication of a nest at all, I daresay. 22 June 1000. 822 and 8157 in Plague, flew to Barn area. Could be something going on yet. 23 June 2000. 822 in top of Plague, sitting; 8361 in 2º tree. 2020. All 3 atop Plague now. 8361 then flew to Upper Barn area; 822 disappeared. I'm leaving, but I better watch here seriously soon. 26 June 855-930. Sat up on the hill by Bell's watching for something interesting, which I never saw. 8or#22 was in the 2º tree for awhile and some sapsucking was going on by the Pumphouse again, but the little activity that there is here certainly does not have a breeding flavor to it. 4 July 930. Counted stores: 519. 13 July 930. 822 atop Plague. 943. 8157 atop 2º tree. 22 July 8157 seen atop the 2º tree at one time or another in passing. 23 July 1145. 8or/M#361 atop Plague. 29 July 1115. Both 8157 and 822 along with a 3rd bird seen here. 9 August 8157 atop 2º tree as I walked by. 12 August 822 atop 2º tree as I walked by. 14 August 822 seen drinking from the large spout by the road in front of the Pumphouse. 19 August 822 seen in the area.
