Because of numbers (4-5) and the presence of begging birds I think the birds foraging just on the S side of the road across from 1800 are 1500 birds. In any case, I saw one 9 land on a Madrone branch and pick a berry. 1330. [illegible] #88 in tree 3 along with 2 others. 5 September 600. An ambush at the '78 nest hole on this rainy morning
