Leaving. 30 June 1605. 868 in the vicinity. j269 near him in Valley Oak perch tree. j271 poking around up there also; it's hard to tell what he thinks he's doing but the symptoms are: slowly working his way around the limb, sticking his head in here and there; no drilling. The only close foraging type is probing; but of course it may not be "foraging" at all. 1620.
