1979 Walter D. Koenig Melanerpes famicivorus Arnold 3 Hastings Reservation (25 April) didn't actually chase him). In any case, no one in any holes here (or at UA2). * 838. More chases: [126] ? (left leg seen well) and [383?] >[9397?] Both of these are intruders. 840. 9207 doing a lot of the chasing. She and ♂LP-wrn/Bile-LA #120 in '77 nest tree now; intruders temporarily routed. could also have been 9397 from Westgate I bet the ♀ intruder above is 9383, from R3 (or formerly of R3). The ♂ would appear to be old ♂126, formerly of this group but not seen for quite some time. * 850. 2 ♂♂ over on knoll by Lambert's: ♂WU/DB-WT #126 and ♂DB/WN #[illegible]#123. Sitting a few feet from each other. 858. [illegible]♂126 sitting off on his own; being tolerated by ♂123 at least but not, perhaps, a full-fledged group member. 900. Leaving. No more chasing here for the moment; ♂126 still here, however! 28 April 1115. While on my way up to here from LA2, 2 birds flew from the direction of the '76 nest hole toward me; one went all the way to LA2, the other landed by UA2 and was ♂Mwrn #128 #126 again. * 1125. Over at A3 itself are 20♂wun/#120, 2nd♂, and 2 unbanded ♀♀ (one Cannicking, Drumming). [Ron has also seen 9207 here earlier]. 1130 Over in sap tree: ♂120, ♂126. Don't see the ub ♀♀ now, but still some Cannicks. No sign of either 2nd yr ♀♀. 1140. 9207 and ♂120 still "tight" up in the sap tree. Is she going to stay and muck things up or leave like she should?
