re-nesting at Road 3, Roosting at Buckeye. Weather finally
starting to improve.
28 May A surprise late egg b-1 Q496 at Plaque. watched some
more at Road 3 (checked the nest hole there) and did a

on School Hill west before dragging the ladder up there
with Walter to band the babies. Roosting at Buckeye.
30 May Discover Road 3 with one egg in the earlier nest hole, so I
spent a good bit of the day watching them. Started compiling Road 1
nestwatches, then went into town with the whole crew for Pizza,
a Sherlock Holmes movie, and ice cream
31 may Road 3 from dawn 'till 0900, a good nest watch at Road 1,
then some relaxing, and back out to Road 3 for dusk + roosting
1 June Not a good day. Road 3 laid an egg this morning, but I managed
to break the thing. Great. One of the School Hill eggs started
to hatch today, and I helped Walter get to the nest at westgate
2 June Another egg at Road 3, which I managed not to break, a
quick nest watch at Road 1, more hatching action at School
Hill.

watch at Gazebo + Plague. Managed to find the nest
at Bloom 2, anyway.
