1979 Walter D. Koenig Melanerpes formicivorus Arnold 3 Hastings Reservation (29 July) functional, besides being one of the largest granaries on the Reservation, and will be greatly missed. Not only by me, of course, but also presumably by the 2 birds living here. Possibly they'll move over to UA2 and use the granary there. This wouldn't be too much of a change since they've been using that area for roosting, nesting, and foraging for many months now. In any case, the fact remains that Arnold 3 as an entity to itself, once one of the major groups on the Reservation, is now pretty much diliterated. 7 August 1030. Two birds who were up in the Top area of Arnold Field (the crest where LA2, UA2, & A1 meet) flushed to the edge of UA2, where I saw that at least one was banded (?P207??). They both then flushed over to A3, and I am willing to guess that they were probably the A3 birds. 26 August 900. Came up here with Ron and Nancy after Ron reported a Revolution activity at UA2 between the 2 A3 birds (defending the better granary) and several unbanded birds. See UA2 notes. 5 October 1545. Nothing noticed here in passing. 15 October 1705. One or 2 birds up in the trees over on the Lambert side of the fence; otherwise there are stores now at UA2 and I would guess that this group has "moved" over there, as expected.
