94 Joseph Haydock MELANERPEs FORMICIVORUS CHONGO HNHR 29 April 19:00 Mark has set ambush (nest tree). My job is to scare birds from buckeye annex again. Birds don't roost in buckeye annex, but mark reports that they did not go to the nest tree w/ ambush. 30 April 8:18 - 11:18 - Another fairly successful note regarding watch. This time with Katy. Birds never did visit any holes in tree (main granary / nest tree), making me think they are not interested in nesting - Do they really want to nest at Buckeye annex.
