Hastings Reservation
8 January After a long and fruitful history, this entry would appear to be A3's obituary. Following the demise of the granary here on 28 July, these birds appeared to still be here on 7 August, and were both involved in a revolution at UA2 on 26 August. At that time the 2 A3 birds appeared to be in control at UA2 and I fully expected them to take over there. But, inexplicably, they didn't, and have not been seen since.
→ Abandoned about 31 August 1979 ± 2 weeks,
With no real granary here now I do not expect any replacements.
