1945. At roosting tonight, I bird only came and
went in; my visual on him was 4el-DB/4el-DB,
which comes closest to being 82913 (or 1B/or-DB). The
only issue with him is that he was last seen
8 March. If he's no longer here, I guess I'd
have to go for 82802 (DB-wm/wk-DB); if there
was a bit of space between the bands, it would
come close.
8 May Doug, in 6 hrs of watching, has seen
neither of those 8B's! Instead, he's only seen
82762, who I have to admit could also
have been the bird who roosted last night.
In any case, I need to check with Devin, but
it would appear as though there may only
be 1B3 here!!
17 May 1215. After ignoring these guys for 9 days,
I realized I should check the nest, so I
did, and found it empty! Bummer.
By the way, there are stores left.
29 May 1600. Birds in (same) hole again: 5 eggs, incubated
FHD ~ 2 June. ① 23.8 × 19.1 ② 23.2 × 19.7
③ 22.8 × 19.3 ④ 23.8 × 20.0 ⑤ 23.7 × 19.8
(calipers checked).
3 June 1430. 56abies, ~3-4 do (I runtish; others
will probably make it). Band ~ 20 June.
4 June 1730. Found 82772 - the breeder - DOR on
the road in front of Stromberg's. Bummer
