Koenig Melanerpes formicivorus Hastings Resenation 4 February So far my periodic checks here have given me no reason to suspect anybody of living here so far this year. 12 April Still no indication of rebirth here. 20 April 1020. On the knoll are 3 birds, apparently the 1500 birds—at least 8297 was identified and the other 2 appeared to be his. 1028. Now some fighting on knoll by the next tree—8297 chasing 1 or 2 other birds. 1030. Pub here. 8297 interested in the hole in the trunk. 1035. These 2 birds here, possibly no one else.
