(7 July) from Chongo in September following fledging in 1977 and
hadn't been seen since. So much for no juvenile dispersal!]
2 August 1900. Checked the hole here but with ambiguous results:
There were no remains inside which were clearly attributable
to a decayed carcass. However, there were a few feathers,
dermested pupae, and lots of lice—enough to make me suspect
that one may have come and gone already. In any
case, there was not enough evidence for me to scratch
the 2nd baby here for certain.
10 October
850. Watching from the hide at the granary.
851. 0^DB or DB-or #424 appeared right away, briefly.
The birds do have a lot of stores here already.
950. Nothing else. Going to check the nest area and will leave
the hide here for a later try.
13 October
900. Watching. No sign of anything over at the nest.
905. 00^DB/LP-181#252 came with an acorn by himself.
1000. Leaving. Clearly very little is going on here at the
moment.
6 November
945. Watching. The granary here is pretty well filled with stores.
1100. Nothing at granary. Over beyond the nest tree I came
across ①3 wnt-red/M #504.
