1979 Walter D. Koenig Melanerpes formicivorus 1800 Hastings Reservation (2 July) between 27 March and 12 April, by which time she was chasing after old #260 possibly as though she belonged here. She then apparently left directly after the return of #193 and the demise of her nest on about 31 May → Moved here ~4 April, left group about 31 May. #193. Definitely not here until the proceedings on 30 May → Returned here ~1 June. #347. A continual problem. He's obviously spent a fair amount of time during the last year elsewhere (with #193?), but shows up here now and again. Still with no better information, I leave him here for now. Further note on #ub above: Ron Munne obtained a good watch on #ub and #3476 on 11 May, at which time they were hanging out together almost continuously. Nancy also saw an #6♀ here on 19 May. Thus she would definitely appear to have been the breeding ♀ here as well as the resident ♀ up until #193's odd, unorthodox return ~1 June. 15 September 900. None in any holes here and none seen in passing. 9 October 1100. Watching. ♂ in spring hole when I arrived. Many stores here. ①♀DB-LP/DB #193 here preening in Main tree. 1115. ♂♂Marble/LG#476 atop tree now. 1130. The 2 birds sitting together here; no sign of anyone else, 1145. Leaving for now. ! 3 birds flushed from the tree when I left; thus #347 is almost surely still here after all. 9 November 1215. Watching. See 1500 notes re the old nest tree granary
