2 June
1120. Set up to try and get The ♂ NOBA here
at The nest.
1140. ♂ m/red-wm #2985.
1220. ♂ m/da #3263, Feeding acorn bitz
1300. Finally a ♀, but missed her bands (or
she didn't have any).
1350. ♂ m/am-wm(nv) #3120. Pushed out of
the way by ♂ 3263. Sex not seen, but definitely
not B1k-BPk(N) - LL seen well, actually.
1410. Quitting for now.
3 June
845. Back to try again.
954. ♂ 2985.
1022. ♀ la-wm(nv)/da #2821 for sure. On later
visits the LL band looked redder, albeit fairly faded.
1105. ♂ m/da #3263.
1302. Gave up; caught ♀ 2821 for stable isotopes
and banded the 2 kits.
5 June
500. Ambushed 3 holes - pretty much everything
except The (current) nest - and got a grand
total of 1 bird: ♂ 3120. (In the previously
unopened hole in The side tree.)
10 August STILL stores remaining here.
