1978 Walter D. Koenig Melanerpes fomicivorus MacRoberts Hastings Reservation 8 February There are at least some acorns left in the fallen tree here at a height where woodpeckers could easily be getting at them. I saw no birds around otherwise, but very possibly they are still here somewhere. 24 February 940. Rather to my surprise, an ub ♂ is on the fallen granary working stores. 950. The ♂ is gone and I don't see anyone around now, but apparently a (the?) group is still intact here. As it happens, I counted all of 94 acorns still in the granary up off the ground - not a lot, but enough to support a pair for a while longer, at least. 14 March 1215. Watching. No sign of anybody, 1245. Some calls and a ♂ flycatching not far away 1253. The ♂ just left. He appeared not to be banded, and very well may be "the" ub ♂ here. 1315. No sign of more birds. The granary, however, still has 56 acorns! No doubt they are still hanging on here! 24 March 1600. A stroll up here again produced an unbanded ♂ sitting near the fallen granary. Once again, there are still some stores here. 31 March 1430. Nobody seen in passing here, though stores still do remain 5 April 1800. 2 birds flushed from near here and watched for several minutes as they made a fuss over me: ♂ub and a ♀, who unfortunately still eluded identification. They do seem to belong here, at least. 8 April 1700. Nobody seen here in passing. 13 April 1230. Still a few acorns stored here. A bird flushed from near here is ♂(pr/or)/Laren ? Closest I can get offhand is ♂316 --
