eye shine. Bach at nest Q22 - a bird is
on, but facing S, having completely turned
around counterclockwise since I got
here at 11:30 or so. At 3:07 a.m. 3
"punk-inks" at the S end - that where
the earlier ones must have been too.
3:10 a.m. the bird on nest Q22 is the

5:06 a White ronto w/Bl + an

5:11 - seems to be quite some conflict
at P15-16. 5:14 - the E ♀ came back
to P23 - at 5:15 the ♂ scooted off the nest
to join her at Q24. Now, 5:18 the
