1979 Walter D. Roering Malanerpes fomicivorus School Hill West Hastings Reservation (24 June) suspected back on 21 April? (this would explain their lack of a nest elsewhere) or someone entirely new? Some watching is going to have to be done here. 25 June 815. On my way over here, I flushed 2 birds from a snag up from the granary right by the Chapparel/woodland "pass" (see map on back). 825. Flushed a ♀ from the granary after seeing noone on the far side of the hill. ♀ flew back up towards the area where I flushed the 2 birds earlier; calls and even a few Carricks from there. 830. Back on top, ⚫♂ & ♀. Several others hiding here. 850. There to seem to be several (3-4) birds here. I was watching a ♀ up by the Pass while some more calls came from down by the granary. 910. Searching around again, but everyone seems to have disappeared Last I heard a bird he sounded way over toward the Gate side. 925. Now watching the granary. 950. 22 birds back in the vicinity. 953. ⚫♂ and ♀♀ together in the corner by the road (SW side) 1000. Leaving. Nothing, of course, is certain, but it would appear as though there is a pair of birds here, both unbanded. Their relation to Waite is necessarily unknown-I would speculate that one or the other of them ⚫♂ emigrated from there-but in any case the entire Waite group certainly did not move up here. Hopefully I will be able to figure out where these birds are roosting and catch them, eventually. See also Ron's notes, who is presumably watching simultaneously at Gate this morning.
