April26 16:30 Set ambush at tree above granary.
April27 5:00 - Caught 2 birds. 2565, 2091. Other
birds in group may have roosted in granary tree.
Aprd 30 19:30 - Roost watch-Unable to determine where
they roosted.
10 MAY 19:45 - Roost watch- Birds again seen
heading downhill, to SW of granary tree-
Could not find hole.
12 May 20:00 - Roost watch. Watts reports that ~5
birds roosted at buckeye "annex". Could they
be buckeye birds or are they chongo??
23 MAY 20:00 - Yet another roost watch. Some birds
roosted in new hole in granary tree; top of
limb that points (more or less) towards
Hastings houses.
5 JUNE 20:00 - Roost watch. I checked buckeye annex
tree first (about 25 min prior to roost time) and
saw 3 birds fly from hole (last years chongo nest).
Returned to Buckeye granary tree to watch roosting.
Saw 4-6 birds roost in this tree. 3-4 roosted in
new hole that faces Hastings buildings; Another 2-3 roosted
in hole at end of branch that points uphill. - So bird
at buckeye annex too could be either chongo birds or
buckeye birds that decided to roost in their granary
too.
