1978 Walter D. Koenig
Melanerpes fomincivorus
Upper Arnold 2
Hastings Reservation.
3 July
1920. Bird(s) roosting in that hole again. About time to watch
and see if they're A3 birds after all.
4 July
920. Flushed one bird from this area. None in the hole.
6 July
715. Watching.
728. Directly below here in the canyon ♀️wd/db#(28) (A3) is hawking.
Otherwise no sign of anyone here.
733. Now? M/LP[#289?](A3) Hawking down below.
736. Yes. Both ♀️289 and ♀️290 (for sure) showed up atop the
granary briefly, then flew down below the next tree where
3-4 birds are now hawking.
750. 5-6 birds now. ♀️ Mawer/LP. Rd# 207.
800. ♂️wd/db/wm[#286?] hawking down here now. In any case,
A3 seems to account for birds being here; this is merely part
of their territory for now, and the birds roosting here are
no doubt A3 birds.
806. Got a good look at the ♂️ above - is ♂️wd/db/wm#412 (Bianca)
He's not getting chased but is being looked at oddly by the A3 birds.
Right now he's exploring the next tree
815. Leaving.
16 July
1520. Flushed 1 bird from the area, but none in any holes.
15 October
No stores here or any sign of a group.
5 November
One bird sitting around near here, but no stores or group.
