1978 Walter D. Koenig Melanerpes formicivorus Lambert Hastings Reservation 17 February 1500. 1 bird flushed from Hast. fallen tree. 18 February 1500. Meandering up here again, I found (1)♂♂#114 and (2)♀♀ub. Counted stores: HFT: 374 Main tree (next tree): 28 LFT: 0; VO: 0 } 402 Not a lot, but definitely something! 18 April 1540. This group is now out of stores (O). Among other things, it appears as though someone's been [illegible] gnawing at parts of the Hastings fallen tree, no doubt squirrels or some such hastening the "inevitable decline." Also saw no birds here in/out of holes in passing. 21 April 1345. Noone seen back here. 27 April See Keep Out notes for birds sapsucking down there (3114, possibly Lambert's ub♀). 3 May 1630. Noone at all seen here in passing. 4 May 1320. Watched here for awhile: zero. 3114 down at KeepOut again, however. 1350. No sign of anybody around here. 1355. I think I'm in luck. I'd been sitting on the knoll above KeepOut where there'd been some activity (toward Near Lambert from KeepOut) when finally 3or~#284 showed up and sat here for a minute (bands seen not well enough for me to be positive he wasn't 3114, however). 1440. Success! After a walkaround Lambert's land I came back and flushed another bird from the area above KeepOut who flew to the Middle Tree and then over toward Lambert's, where she was finally identified as ♀Pink/Blk#283.
