1979 Walter D Koenig Melanerpes formicivorus Road 3 Hastings Reservation 4 June Watched here from 1530-1800 this afternoon - and an interesting watch it was, with all the old 9# (except for 9269) showing up and with 9383 doing a fair amount of feeding! See compilation on back. At dusk, it was once again 8184 for sure who roosted in the nest. 6 June 1950. 8184 once again spent the night in the nest It would appear as though he and only he is the one to do so here, at least this year! 12 June 1400? Banded and 6led the babies, who are of record weight (almost topping 100g!). They are now #490 and 491. 17 June Watched at dusk tonight, but noone roosted in the nest with the babies. 3 July Delete: 9269. Moved to watched group ~30 April ±1 week (see R1 notes).
