26 May
1100: Banded and bled the 3 kids here. Stores
remaining? Yes indeed.
2005
15 Apr
There are stores here! Clearly a group
here after all.
4 May
1030 Found the hole; it's in a dipshut limb
way up there with nothing above it. Bannner.
Will require some imagination to get up to it.
I think they still have eggs.
17 May
1545. Bird flushed from hole: babies, youngsters,
calling. I'd give them another 7-10 days,
then try to get up there
24 May
1230. With 4 people, 400' of rope, and a lot of
craziness we got the 40' ladder straight
up, allowing me to reach the hole and the
3 kids. Unfortunately, one (4101) had a
broken leg (not clear how; maybe it was us)
so I kept him, returning the other
2. They were ~14 days old or so.
8 Sept
No (old) stores remaining here.
2006
15 May
No stores here.
2007
29 Apr
Stores: Yes. 2005 hole has fallen.
3 May
850, $ M/LG? #3789 in granary. None in any holes
4 July
Still some stores here.
