1981 Walker D. Koenig Malancerpes formicivorus Lower Haystack Hastings Reservation (4 May) retrospect, when the tossing occurred yesterday, I was concentrating on (1) the egg and (2) the crown of the bird, in order to make sure it was a 8" and that I had not somehow confused the bird for 9524 [who has the M band in the same place]. As a result, I no longer recollect for sure having seen the wing streamer. Thus, solely on that basis, I have to admit a small possibility that it was 8461 who tossed the egg rather than 6307. However, for the reason mentioned above, I think that a "related 8" egg-tossing [analogous to the 99] is unlikely in either case.) 815. 9524 took a look into (but did not enter) the '79 nest hole. 830. Leaving. No egg laid today anywhere! Yesterday may have been a false start after all! 5 May 550. Back again, this time with Janet watching the far holes. 620. A bird (presumably 9604) Garricking all over on the periphery again. 630. I just counted 36 Garricks in 2 min from up there (9604). The birds down here just ignore her! 820. Nothing at all going on at the holes in the graveyard. There was a little more action over at the roost hole where Janet's watching, but nothing too suggestive. 1020. After hearing what happened at the roost hole (9524 was in at 810 or so) I went down, got the ladder, and opened the hole (which is deep!), but nothing in it. 6 May 550. At it again, this time with Mary watching the far area. 620. Ub 9 intruder here; chased by 9524. Bird being chased by several individuals now.
