Hastings Reservation
13 June nest at Road 3. Movie in town, "A Tale of Two Cities"
A Friday the 13th, and survived.
14 June A good "juvenile watch" at Road 1, a nest check of
Road 3, Plaque, School Hill, helped Walter setup
a mist net at Westgate, a look around ARF 2, Roosting
at CA2
15 June A nest + group watch at Road 3, then I made a cake for
Nancy's going away party, then a nest check at Road 3.
A trip to the Safeway at Mid Valley, then return via
Cachagua with Nancy. It pleasant trip. Then a short run,
and Nancy's going away party at Red House, complete with
Mumms champagne, and decadent desserts. A sad occasion, nonetheless
16 June Watched at 1800 early, getting a complete census in
before Frank arrived at 10am. Craftsman-ship, and nest
checks at Plaque, Road 3, and School Hill followed.
Dinner up at Red House on Nancy's last day here.
17 June Nancy left this morning! Sob! She will be sorely missed.
A photo session opened the day, then grunt shit the
rest of the day. Frank took Pam, Walt + I out to
dinner at Wills, which was very pleasant
18 June A truly shitty day. A worthless watch at Hay-Bloom,
a stolen 1/2 ladder (left briefly at Westgate), plus Psychodrama!
Best to forget about it. The only saving feature was that
we banded #600 & #601 at Gate. Yeah!
19 June A little better today. Mediocre watches at Guzebo or Bloom One,
a good nest check at School Hill, and a very good juvenile watch
at 1800. Non-roosting at School Hill, dessert at the Hardys.
