Birds hanging out in traditional tree, but the hole is empty. 31 May 1415. checked around and watched for awhile, but saw nothing. 1418. ! Bird up the field a ways...? 6 June 1030. Went up to a (new) hole where a bird was roosting last night, but no sign of any activity. 13 June 1500. Birds have been at that new hole a couple of times, so I opened it, only to find that it connects to the hole below it whose back had partly fallen out years ago. So I pieced a back together just in case they really would like to use it. It is empty, by the way. 21 August 1630. Came here to set ambushes only to discover a nest in the traditional hole! 6 kids, 4-5 do! (I collected The runty 6th, who is #3308). Guess I'll catch the NOBA ♀ at the nest! Lots of stores left here, 31 August 1110. Going for the NOBA. Watching the nest. 1134. ♀ m? B1k-w(N) ?? Starting with a Mystery. 1200. ♂ Red-DB1/M #3027 Seen well. 1205. ♂m / Wh-LB #1962.
